ObjectiveHbA1c thresholds used to define dysglycemia in autoantibody-positive individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes do not account for age-related increases in HbA1c and may overestimate progression risk in adults. We evaluated whether age-adjusted HbA1c or a higher HbA1c threshold improves risk stratification across age groups. Research Design and MethodsWe analyzed 5,024 autoantibody-positive relatives (3,720 children and 1,304 adults) participating in the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention stu...
