Open AccessImplementation fidelity to a behavioral diabetes prevention intervention in two New York City safety net primary care practices
It is critical to assess implementation fidelity of evidence-based interventions and factors moderating fidelity, to understand the reasons for their success or failure. However, fidelity and fidelity moderato...

A simulation model estimates lifetime health and economic outcomes of screening prediabetes using the 1-h plasma glucose
The current method to diagnose impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is based on the 2-h plasma glucose (2-hPG) value during a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Robust evidence demonstrates that the 1-h post...

Remission of T2DM requires early diagnosis and substantial weight reduction
Remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus is highly desirable and potentially reduces risks of complications. Improving the probability of remission requires early detection and substantial weight loss during a 6-...

The 1-h post-load plasma glucose as a novel biomarker for diagnosing dysglycemia
Identifying the earliest moment for intervention to avert progression to prediabetes and diabetes in high-risk individuals is a substantial challenge. As β-cell function is already compromised in prediabetes,...

Glucose patterns during an oral glucose tolerance test and associations with future diabetes, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality rate
In addition to blood glucose concentrations measured in the fasting state and 2 h after an OGTT, intermediate measures during an OGTT may provide additional information regarding a person’s risk of future diab...

Reducing the prevalence of dysglycemia: is the time ripe to test the effectiveness of intervention in high-risk individuals with elevated 1 h post-load glucose levels?
Identifying the earliest time point on the prediabetic continuum is critical to avoid progressive deterioration in β-cell function. Progressively rising glucose levels even within the “normal range” occur cons...

The 1-hour post-load glucose level is more effective than HbA1c for screening dysglycemia
To assess the performance of HbA1c and the 1-h plasma glucose (PG ≥ 155 mg/dl; 8.6 mmol/l) in identifying dysglycemia based on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) from a real-world clinical care setting.

Diabetes as a model for the disparate public response to acute versus chronic diseases
The public health outcry toward infectious entities appears to dwarf chronic diseases such as diabetes. This disparity is particularly astonishing given the considerable prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes....
