Sažetak
The current diagnostic criteria for diabetes were recommended by the National Diabetes Data Group in 1979 and World Health Organization in 1980. This review covers the epidemiological basis of these diagnostic criteria which have been chosen to reflect the risk of diabetic complications. In the past sixteen years, the new knowledge has raised the question of the need of new criteria. OGTT and 2-hour post-load plasma glucose have been considered the gold standard, however, current knowledge indicates it to be equivalent to fasting plasma glucose values and glycated haemoglobin.
