TLDR
The study showed that HbA1c values of > or = 6.0% gave a reasonably high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis using the WHO or ADA criteria, but wide inter-individual variations even in the normoglycaemic range make the test unsuitable for diagnostic purpose.

Coping, control, and adjustment in Type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relationships of both coping strategies and perceived control to psychological and physiological adjustment in adults with Type 2 diabetes showed that emotional preoccupation and palliative coping were positively correlated with depression and state anxiety, and instrumental coping predicted lower depression.

Diagnostic value of fasting capillary glucose, fructosamine and glycosylated haemoglobin in detecting diabetes and other glucose tolerance abnormalities compared to oral glucose tolerance test

TL;DR: Measurement of fasting capillary glycaemia along with fructosamine and/or glycosylated haemoglobin allows the detection of glucose tolerance abnormalities better than FCG alone, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses showed that FCG was the best criterion in discriminating diabetes.

HbA1c values for defining diabetes and impaired fasting glucose in Asian Indians

TL;DR: In this study population from north and south regions of India, the HbA(1c) cut-point that defines NDD was much lower than that proposed by an international expert committee and the American Diabetes Association (≥6.8%) and was slightly lower than the ≥5.7% for high risk proposed, but accuracy was less than 70%.

HbA(1c) as a diagnostic tool for diabetes and pre-diabetes: the Bangladesh experience.

TL;DR: To evaluate HbA1c as a tool for the diagnosis of diabetes and pre‐diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose) and to identify the optimal cut‐off values suitable for a Bangladeshi population is evaluated.

The effect of intensive treatment of diabetes on the development and progression of long-term complications in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: Intensive therapy effectively delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy in patients with IDDM.

Definition, diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Part 1: diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus provisional report of a WHO consultation.

TL;DR: A WHO Consultation has taken place in parallel with a report by an American Diabetes Association Expert Committee to re‐examine diagnostic criteria and classification of diabetes mellitus and is hoped that the new classification will allow better classification of individuals and lead to fewer therapeutic misjudgements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared tight control of blood pressure with less tight control aiming at a blood pressure of <150/85 mm Hg with the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril or a beta blocker atenolol as main treatment.
