This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare has approved new guidelines lowering the cut-off point at which a diabetes diagnosis is made. The level at which fasting plasma glucose triggers a diagnosis of diabetes is to be reduced from 6.7 to 6.1 mmol/l, increasing the number of diabetics in Sweden by 7%-8% (see Clinica No 826, p 5). The guidelines should have gone into effect at the end of last year, but they are now expected to be introduced in August, according to Claes Mebius, director of the National Board of Health and Welfare.
