Summary
Maintaining tight metabolic control with HbA1c values below 7.5% prevents the onset of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes [1]. Data on the validity of PPBG is scarce but random blood glucose has been used in resource poor settings in Africa [3]. We compared the validity of FBG and PPBG levels in determining glycaemic control using HbA c as the gold standard. Our study population consisted of a total of 296 patients with type 2 diabetes, visiting a medical clinic.
