Diabetes Diagnosis and Disease State Correlation

Vocabulary-style flashcards based on clinical criteria for diabetes diagnosis, prediabetes status, and related metabolic disease correlations.

Diabetes Diagnosis (Fasting glucose)

$$> 126\,mg/dL$$

Diabetes Diagnosis (2-hour GTT glucose)

$$> 200\,mg/dL$$

Diabetes Diagnosis (HbA1c)

$$\ge 6.5\%$$

Diabetes Diagnosis (Random glucose)

$\ge 200\,mg/dL$ + symptoms

Impaired fasting glucose (Prediabetes)

$$100-125\,mg/dL$$

Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes)

2-hour GTT $140-199\,mg/dL$

HbA1c (Prediabetes)

$$5.7-6.4\%$$

Hypoglycemia

Glucose $< 70\,mg/dL$

Ketones

Positive indicates fat breakdown, as in DKA

Diabetes Mellitus

Hyperglycemia due to insulin issues

Prediabetes (Clinical Significance)

Increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Gestational Diabetes

Diabetes during pregnancy, risks for mother/baby

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)

Hyperglycemia, ketosis, acidosis (life-threatening)

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS)

Extreme hyperglycemia, dehydration

Genetic Disorders

Galactosemia, hereditary fructose intolerance, etc
