Researchers analyzed data from 1,535 patients in a Veterans Health Administration primary care clinic and also found that capillary glucose challenge testing detected diabetes and high-risk dysglycemia more accurately than A1C and random capillary glucose testing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/r.smartbrief.com\/resp\/ixqSCehuiFCWygduCieiqWCicNhZFI?format=standard\">Healio (free registration)\/Endocrine Today<\/a> (10\/21)<\/p>\n<p>News provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.smartbrief.com\/diabetespro\">DiabetesPro SmartBrief<\/a>\u00a0in conjunction with the <a href=\"http:\/\/diabetes.org\">American Diabetes Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diabetes-related-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1294"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1745,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions\/1745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/diabetes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
