Study Summary

Purpose to estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes in a BC First Nation community to determine the utility of community based screening by examining how many positively screened people follow up with the recommended subsequent testing and family physician visit to determine if point-of-care HbA1c test (Ames/Bayer DCA 2000) correlates with the confirmatory fasting and 2 hour post challenge blood glucose tests. Hypothesis The Point-of-Care test will correlate well with the gold standard diagnostic tests and prove to be a useful tool for community-based screening. This test obviates the need for fasting and repeat glucose tolerance testing.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Does the HbA1c identify the same individuals as fasting and 2-hr pc glucose tests to identify diabetes and pre-diabetes in a First Nation community
Secondary outcome measures
Provide estimates of prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in a First Nation community
To identify the response rate of "gold standard" diabetes testing in a First nation community
