DIABETES PANEL

摘要

The present invention generally relates to predicting the risk of developing diabetes in patients who currently do not have diabetes. The invention can involve obtaining a sample from a patient negative for diabetes, conducting an assay on the sample to obtain a level of a glycated albumin, and determining an elevated risk of developing a diabetic condition if said level exceeds a predetermined threshold.

主权项

1. A method for determining the risk of developing a diabetic condition, the method comprising:
obtaining a sample from a patient; conducting assays on the sample to obtain levels of each of glycated albumin, glucose, adiponectin, and triglyceride; calculating body mass index (BMI) of the patient, determining a parental history of diabetes, and a statin use history; creating a diabetes risk score X using a weighted multivariate model based on the patient's BMI, the parental history of diabetes, the statin use history, and the patient's glycated albumin, glucose, adiponectin, and triglyceride, levels;
