Course contents

Traditionally, diabetes diagnosis relied solely on plasma glucose measurements and OGTT testing. However, practical limitations — including fasting requirements and patient tolerance — have shifted clinical practice toward HbA1c-based diagnosis in appropriate settings. 

This course reviews:
  • Current diagnostic thresholds for type 2 diabetes
  • Differentiating causes of hyperglycaemia
  • The use of HbA1c as an endorsed diagnostic test
  • Appropriate use of autoantibody and genetic testing
  • Updated 2025 ADIPS criteria for hyperglycaemia in pregnancy
  • Designed for general practitioners, this course bridges laboratory science and real-world clinical decision-making.
