ADA 2009: Expert Committee Recommends Use of Hemoglobin A1C for Diagnosis of Diabetes

 The American Diabetes Association (ADA), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) have joined forces to recommend the use of the hemoglobin A1C assay for the diagnosis of diabetes.

The committee has determined that an A1C value of 6.5% or greater should be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.

This cut-point, Dr. Nathan said, "is where risk of retinopathy really starts to go up."
