Researchers found that two-hour postload glucose was a better predictor of cardiovascular events among patients with coronary artery disease but without previously known diabetes than A1C or fasting plasma glucose. The findings in Diabetes Care, based on 3,775 patients, revealed that an A1C between 5.7% and 6.5% and 2h-PG between 7.8 and 11.0 mmol/L were independent predictors of incident diabetes.
