The criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes is either two fasting blood glucose
readings with results greater than or equal to 126 mg/dl or a random blood
glucose reading greater than or equal to 200 mg/dl if symptoms of diabetes are
present. Random glucose is not the appropriate test. In older adults, the glucose
reading after a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (ogtt) rises more rapidly than
the fasting glucose. Kennedy p.370

unequivocal hyperglycemia, result should be confirmed by repeat testing . A
hgba1c is the correct answer becasue the repeat testing should be completed without
delay.
Retesting in a week or a year is a delay. Metformin should not be initatiated until
the diagnosis is confirmed . Dunphy p.925
