Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus
Open accessAbstract
DIABETESMELLITUSdDiabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This ADA position statement reviews the definition, classification, and diagnostic criteria for diabetes and prediabetes, emphasizing type 1, type 2, other specific types, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It affirms glucose- and A1C-based diagnostic thresholds and recommends updated IADPSG criteria for GDM.
Key findings
- Diabetes is classified into type 1 (5–10% of cases), type 2 (∼90–95%), other specific types, and GDM; immune-mediated type 1 diabetes shows one or more autoantibodies in 85–90% of individuals when fasting hyperglycemia is initially detected.
- Diagnostic criteria include FPG ≥126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l), 2-h PG ≥200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) during a 75-g OGTT, or A1C ≥6.5%; random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) can diagnose diabetes in patients with classic hyperglycemic symptoms or hyperglycemic crisis.
- Prediabetes/increased risk is defined as IFG 100–125 mg/dl (5.6–6.9 mmol/l), IGT 140–199 mg/dl (7.8–11.0 mmol/l), or A1C 5.7–6.4%; A1C 6.0–6.5% carries a 5-year diabetes risk of 25–50% and relative risk 20 times higher than A1C 5.0%.
- GDM affects approximately 7% of pregnancies (range 1–14% depending on population and tests); IADPSG recommends a 75-g OGTT at 24–28 weeks, with GDM diagnosed if any value is exceeded: fasting ≥92 mg/dl (5.1 mmol/l), 1 h ≥180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l), or 2 h ≥153 mg/dl (8.5 mmol/l).
Methods
- This is an ADA clinical/consensus statement that synthesizes prior Expert Committee reports, International Expert Committee recommendations, IADPSG guidance, and epidemiologic evidence to define diabetes classification and diagnostic thresholds.
- Evidence cited includes cross-sectional retinopathy studies, NHANES analyses, the Diabetes Prevention Program, a systematic review of 44,203 individuals from 16 cohort studies with mean follow-up 5.6 years, and the HAPO study of ∼25,000 pregnant women.
- Main analysis is narrative synthesis and expert consensus; no new primary data are reported.
Limitations
- The paper states that few randomized clinical trial data exist for treating women newly diagnosed with GDM by only one abnormal glucose value, and that additional well-designed clinical studies are needed to determine optimal monitoring and treatment intensity.
- The paper states A1C diagnostic limitations: greater cost, limited availability in some developing regions, incomplete correlation with average glucose in certain individuals, and misleading results in anemia and hemoglobinopathies; point-of-care A1C assays are not sufficiently accurate for diagnosis.
- The text makes evident that this is a consensus/guideline document rather than a systematic review, and it notes imperfect concordance among FPG, 2-h PG, and A1C, with discordant results requiring repeat/confirmatory testing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
