Question

Which of the following would not confirm a diagnosis of diabetes?

1) Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0
2) Fasting glucose of 155
3) Random glucose of 198
4) Oral glucose tolerance test with a plasma glucose of 250

Answer 1

The correct answer that would not confirm a diagnosis of diabetes is option 1) Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0. The correct answer is 1) Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer that would not confirm a diagnosis of diabetes is option 1) Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0. A glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level of 7.0 indicates poor blood glucose control over the past 2-3 months, but it does not provide a direct confirmation of diabetes.

The other options, 2) Fasting glucose of 155, 3) Random glucose of 198, and 4) Oral glucose tolerance test with a plasma glucose of 250, all show elevated blood glucose levels and indicate a diagnosis of diabetes.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1) Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0.
