How about an interpretative comment on this one, a la a well
known national EQA scheme ,for those who cannot wait for the
next one.
"A 36 yo Indian gentleman goes to his GP for an unknown
reason where he is said to have 'a raised fasting glucose'
which is not on record at your laboratory. The clinical
details are '? DM'. He has an OGTT which shows a fasting
glucose of 5.0mmol/L and a 2-hour glucose of 2.1mmol/L. The
bloods were collected into fluoride/oxalate and results
confirmed. The patient was fit and well and showed no
symptoms at any stage.There were no other records on the
hospital system,nor could the GP add any information"
What would be your comment? What further tests would you
suggest?
