A comparison between point-of-care testing and venous glucose determination for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus 6–12 weeks after gestational diabetes
Diabetic Medicine Mar 20, 2019
Coetzee A, et al. - A sum of 122 females to examine the point-of-care-testing (POCT) to diagnose Type 2 diabetes mellitus 6–12 weeks post-partum in candidates with gestational diabetes (GDM). They observed a strong relationship between POCT and laboratory glucose values at both 75-mg oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) time points according to Spearman's ranked correlation analysis. They reported that 36 females were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes based on gold standard laboratory glucose levels (fasting > 7 mmol/l; 2 h > 11.1 mmol/l). They noted 78% of women with a positive predictive value of 89.3% and a negative predictive value of 96.7% at the fasting time point. Sensitivity and specificity of POCT to diagnose Type 2 diabetes of 89% (fasting), 85.7% (2 h) and 96.7% (fasting), 98.5% (2 h) respectively were also recorded.
