Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or
properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to
convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed
for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a
mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors
such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United
States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an
estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes,
unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are
unaware that they have the disease.
In order to determine whether or not a patient has
pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a
Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or an Oral Glucose
Tolerance Test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose
pre-diabetes or diabetes. The American Diabetes
Association recommends the FPG because it is easier,
faster, and less expensive to perform.
With the FPG test, a fasting blood glucose level between 100
and 125 mg/dl signals pre-diabetes. A person with a fasting
blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher has diabetes.
In the OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is
measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a
glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is
between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has
pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200
mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes.
