Dr. Rhee and colleagues compared the identification of prediabetes, dysglycemia (diabetes or prediabetes), and diabetes by the recommended HbA1c-based screening with the conventional oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Benicar (olmesartan) is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children who are at least 6 years old. It is sometimes given together with other blood pressure medications.

 

The bottom line is that if you use an HbA1c measurement as a screening test, you'll have a lot of false-negatives and some false-positives," said Mary Rhee, MD, Assistant Professor of Endocrinology at Emory University in Atlanta. And in this day and age when diabetes is a worsening public health epidemic not only in the U.S. but also around the world, we can't afford to end up with more cases of undiagnosed diabetes."
Despite a recent recommendation that hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) be used as a standard diagnostic test for diabetes, the proposed diagnostic criteria fail to pick up a significant number of cases of diabetes and prediabetes, investigators reported at the 70th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association.
