Fig. 1 Distribution of venous plasma glucose values (measured by the hexokinase method in samples drawn into sodium fluoride-containing tubes) 2h after oral glucose, plotted against HbA1c values (measured by immunoturbidimetric method in EDTA blood samples) in 80 patients with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplant assessment. The dotted horizontal line represents the proposed HbA1c threshold of 5.8%, the dotted vertical line the standard plasma glucose cutoff, 11.1mmol/l.
