Fasting plasma glucose outperformed 1-hour plasma glucose in predicting diabetes incidence in individuals with family history of young-onset type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: Family history (FmH) of young-onset type 2 diabetes (YOD) and 1-hour plasma glucose (PG) during the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test predicts incident diabetes, although their interactions remain unknown.

Research Design And Methods: In a workforce cohort established in 1998-2003, we ascertained their glycemic status in 2012-2014. We examined the interaction between FmH-YOD and 1-hour PG in predicting diabetes and used receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis to compare the performance of 1-hour PG in participants with or without FmH-YOD.
