Abstract

The article "Inclusion of the 1-hour Glucose Tolerance Test in the Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus," published in this journal, highlights the value of the 1-hour OGTT as a diagnostic tool endorsed by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). This discussion is expanded by proposing the integration of this test with the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), another strategy endorsed by the IDF to optimize early detection of dysglycemia in populations at particular risk, such as the Cuban military.
