Reassessment of the Diagnostic Accuracy of HbA <sub>1c</sub> and Glucose for Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Observational Studies
These results suggest that FPG is a more reliable diagnostic marker than HbA<sub>1c</sub> and that uniform global thresholds may not fully reflect population-specific differences. Further high-quality studies are needed to refine diagnostic performance and examine factors influencing accuracy.
