Research Article: Performance of fasting plasma glucose for community-based screening of undiagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa

Date Published: 2025-03-25

Abstract:
Introduction: Early diabetes screening is critical in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where the prevalence is increasing, yet a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in screening diabetes and/or prediabetes compared to the 2-hour plasma glucose (2-h PG)-level in SSA.
