Snippet: Some authors have recently suggested that fasting BA can be a useful screening test (Straten 2015), but this study corroborates the higher value of paired SBA for this purpose, previously confirmed by others (Center 2011). If only fasting BA had been performed, and a higher cut off had been selected (<20-25 lmol/L) as suggested by some authors, 52.8% of cases with fasting values in 10-25 range and abnormal postprandial values would have been miss.....
Document: Some authors have recently suggested that fasting BA can be a useful screening test (Straten 2015), but this study corroborates the higher value of paired SBA for this purpose, previously confirmed by others (Center 2011). If only fasting BA had been performed, and a higher cut off had been selected (<20-25 lmol/L) as suggested by some authors, 52.8% of cases with fasting values in 10-25 range and abnormal postprandial values would have been missed: therefore, normal fasting value <10 lmol/L seems appropriate. Moreover, post-prandial values were increased more often than fasting values; therefore, if just one BA can be performed, post-feeding could be the preferred test.
