  1. Definition, Classification & Diagnosis ofDiabetes & Other Dysglycemic Categories Key Messages • The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with significant long-term sequelae, particularly damage, dysfunction and failure of various organs. • A fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level of 7.0 mmol/L correlates most closely with a 2-hour plasma glucose value of ≥11.1 mmol/L in a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and best predicts the development of microvascular disease. This permits the diagnosis of diabetes to be made on the basis of the commonly available FPG test.
