Note: Estimates are based on the morning
subsample of adults who had a 2-hour oral glucose
tolerance test and vary slightly from the estimates
presented in the National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 2011.
Total diabetes includes diagnosed and undiagnosed
diabetes. FPG, fasting plasma glucose; OGTT, oral
glucose tolerance test; A1c, hemoglobin A1c.

presented in the National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 2011. Total diabetes
includes diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes. Age-adjusted on the basis of
the 2000 U.S. standard population. FPG, fasting plasma glucose; OGTT, oral
glucose tolerance test; A1c, hemoglobin A1c.
