Committee Report
of the NDDG (2). These groups recognized two major forms of diabetes, which
they termed insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus (IDDM, type 1 diabetes) and
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
(NIDDM, type 2 diabetes), but their classification system went on to include evidence that diabetes mellitus was an
etiologically and clinically heterogeneous
group of disorders that share hyperglycemia in common. The overwhelming evidence in favor of this heterogeneity
included the following:
1. There are several distinct disorders,
most of them rare, in which glucose
intolerance is a feature.
2. There are large differences in the
prevalence of the major forms of diabetes among various racial or ethnic groups worldwide.
3. Patients with glucose intolerance
present with great phenotypic variation; take, for example, the differences between thin, ketosis-prone,
insulin-dependent diabetes and
obese, nonketotic, insulin-resistant
diabetes.
4. Evidence from genetic, immunological, and clinical studies shows that
in western countries, the forms of
diabetes that have their onset primarily in youth are distinct from
those that have their onset mainly in
adulthood.
5. A type of noninsulin-requiring diabetes in young people, inherited in
an autosomal-dominant fashion, is
clearly different from the classic
acute-onset diabetes that typically
occurs in children.
6. In tropical countries, several clinical
presentations occur, including diabetes associated with fibrocalcific
pancreatitis.
These and other lines of evidence were
used to divide diabetes mellitus into five
distinct types (IDDM, NIDDM, gestational diabetes mellitus [GDM], malnutrition-related diabetes, and other types).
The different clinical presentations and
genetic and environmental etiologic factors of the five types permitted discrimination among them. All five types were
characterized by either fasting hyperglycemia or elevated levels of plasma glucose
during an oral glucose tolerance test
(OGTT). In addition, the 1979 classification included the category of impaired

Figure 1Disorders of glycemia: etiologic types and stages. Even after presenting in ketoacidosis, these patients can briefly return to normoglycemia without requiring continuous therapy (i.e., honeymoon remission); in rare instances, patients in these categories (e.g., Vacor toxicity, type
1 diabetes presenting in pregnancy) may require insulin for survival.
Committee Report
years). They are referred to as maturityonset diabetes of the young (MODY) and
are characterized by impaired insulin secretion with minimal or no defects in insulin action (44 46). They are inherited
in an autosomal dominant pattern. Abnormalities at three genetic loci on different chromosomes have been identified to
date. The most common form is associated with mutations on chromosome 12
in a hepatic transcription factor referred
to as hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1
(47,48). A second form is associated with
mutations in the glucokinase gene on
chromosome 7p and results in a defective
glucokinase molecule (49,50). Glucokinase converts glucose to glucose-6phosphate, the metabolism of which, in
turn, stimulates insulin secretion by the
-cell. Thus, glucokinase serves as the
glucose sensor for the -cell. Because of
defects in the glucokinase gene, increased
plasma levels of glucose are necessary to
elicit normal levels of insulin secretion. A
third form is associated with a mutation in
the HNF-4 gene on chromosome 20q
(51,52). HNF-4 is a transcription factor
involved in the regulation of the expression of HNF-1. The specific genetic defects in a substantial number of other
individuals who have a similar clinical
presentation are currently unknown.
Point mutations in mitochondrial
DNA have been found to be associated
with diabetes mellitus and deafness (53
55). The most common mutation occurs
at position 3243 in the tRNA leucine
gene, leading to an A-to-G transition. An
identical lesion occurs in the MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and strokelike syndrome); however, diabetes is not
part of this syndrome, suggesting different phenotypic expressions of this genetic
lesion (56).
Genetic abnormalities that result in
the inability to convert proinsulin to insulin have been identified in a few families, and such traits are inherited in an
autosomal dominant pattern (57,58). The
resultant glucose intolerance is mild. Similarly, the production of mutant insulin
molecules with resultant impaired receptor binding has also been identified in
a few families and is associated with an
autosomal inheritance and only mildly
impaired or even normal glucose metabolism (59 61).
Genetic defects in insulin action. There
are unusual causes of diabetes that result

Committee Report
from genetically determined abnormalities of insulin action. The metabolic abnormalities associated with mutations of the
insulin receptor may range from hyperinsulinemia and modest hyperglycemia to
severe diabetes (62,63). Some individuals
with these mutations may have acanthosis
nigricans. Women may be virilized and
have enlarged, cystic ovaries (64,65). In
the past, this syndrome was termed type A
insulin resistance (62). Leprechaunism
and the Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome
are two pediatric syndromes that have
mutations in the insulin receptor gene
with subsequent alterations in insulin receptor function and extreme insulin resistance (63). The former has characteristic
facial features and is usually fatal in infancy, while the latter is associated with
abnormalities of teeth and nails and pineal gland hyperplasia.
Alterations in the structure and function of the insulin receptor cannot be
demonstrated in patients with insulinresistant lipoatrophic diabetes. Therefore,
it is assumed that the lesion(s) must reside
in the postreceptor signal transduction
pathways.
Diseases of the exocrine pancreas. Any
process that diffusely injures the pancreas
can cause diabetes. Acquired processes
include pancreatitis, trauma, infection,
pancreatectomy, and pancreatic carcinoma (66 68). With the exception of cancer, damage to the pancreas must be
extensive for diabetes to occur. However,
adenocarcinomas that involve only a small
portion of the pancreas have been associated with diabetes. This implies a mechanism other than simple reduction in -cell
mass. If extensive enough, cystic fibrosis
and hemochromatosis will also damage
-cells and impair insulin secretion
(69,70). Fibrocalculous pancreatopathy
may be accompanied by abdominal pain
radiating to the back and pancreatic calcifications on X-ray (71). Pancreatic fibrosis and calcium stones in the exocrine
ducts have been found at autopsy.
Endocrinopathies. Several hormones
(e.g., growth hormone, cortisol, glucagon, epinephrine) antagonize insulin action. Excess amounts of these hormones
(e.g., acromegaly, Cushings syndrome,
glucagonoma, pheochromocytoma) can
cause diabetes (7275). This generally
occurs in individuals with pre-existing
defects in insulin secretion, and hyperglycemia typically resolves when the hormone excess is removed.

75-g OGTT values in different populations (109 111). This method has
provided values for plasma glucose concentrations that are similar to the Carpenter/Coustan extrapolations of the 100-g
OGTT.
Recommendations from the American Diabetes Associations Fourth International Workshop-Conference on
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus held in
March 1997 support the use of the Carpenter/Coustan diagnostic criteria as well
as the alternative use of a diagnostic 75-g
2-h OGTT (111a). These criteria are summarized below.
Testing for gestational diabetes. Previous recommendations included screening
for GDM performed in all pregnancies.
However, there are certain factors that
place women at lower risk for the development of glucose intolerance during
pregnancy, and it is likely not costeffective to screen such patients. This lowrisk group comprises women who are
25 years of age and of normal body
weight, have no family history (i.e., firstdegree relative) of diabetes, have no history of abnormal glucose metabolism or
poor obstetric outcome, and are not members of an ethnic/racial group with a high
prevalence of diabetes (e.g., Hispanic
American, Native American, Asian American, African-American, Pacific Islander)
(112114). Pregnant women who fulfill
all of these criteria need not be screened
for GDM.
Risk assessment for GDM should be
undertaken at the first prenatal visit.
Women with clinical characteristics consistent with a high risk of GDM (marked
obesity, personal history of GDM, glycosuria, or a strong family history of diabetes) should undergo glucose testing (see
below) as soon as feasible. If they are
found not to have GDM at that initial
screening, they should be retested between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation.
Women of average risk should have testing undertaken at 24 28 weeks of gestation.
A fasting plasma glucose level 126
mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) or a casual plasma
glucose 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) meets
the threshold for the diagnosis of diabetes, if confirmed on a subsequent day, and
precludes the need for any glucose challenge. In the absence of this degree of hyperglycemia, evaluation for GDM in

nized that this choice is somewhat arbitrary, it is near the level above which acute
phase insulin secretion is lost in response
to intravenous administration of glucose
(116) and is associated with a progressively greater risk of developing microand macrovascular complications (117
121).
Note that many individuals with IGT
are euglycemic in their daily lives (122)
and may have normal or near normal
glycated hemoglobin levels (123). Individuals with IGT often manifest hyperglycemia only when challenged with the oral
glucose load used in the standardized
OGTT.
In the absence of pregnancy, IFG and
IGT are not clinical entities in their own
right but rather risk factors for future diabetes and cardiovascular disease (117).
They can be observed as intermediate
stages in any of the disease processes
listed in Table 1. IFG and IGT are associated with the insulin resistance syndrome
(also known as syndrome X or the metabolic syndrome), which consists of
insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia to maintain glucose homeostasis, obesity (especially abdominal or
visceral obesity), dyslipidemia of the
high-triglyceride and/or low-HDL type,
and hypertension (124). Insulin resistance is directly involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. IFG and IGT
appear as risk factors for this type of diabetes at least in part because of their correlation with insulin resistance. In
contrast, the explanation for why IFG and
IGT are also risk factors for cardiovascular
disease is less clear. The insulin resistance
syndrome includes well-recognized cardiovascular risk factors such as low HDL
levels and hypertension. In addition, it inS12
WHO (2). The revised criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes are shown in Table 3.
Three ways to diagnose diabetes are possible, and each must be confirmed, on a
subsequent day, by any one of the three
methods given in Table 3. For example,
one instance of symptoms with casual
plasma glucose 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/
l), confirmed on a subsequent day by 1)
FPG 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l), 2) an
OGTT with the 2-h postload value 200
mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), or 3) symptoms
with a casual plasma glucose 200 mg/dl
(11.1 mmol/l), warrants the diagnosis of
diabetes.
For epidemiological studies, estimates of diabetes prevalence and incidence should be based on an FPG 126
mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l). This recommendation is made in the interest of standardization and also to facilitate field work,
particularly where the OGTT may be difficult to perform and where the cost and
demands on participants time may be excessive. This approach will lead to slightly
lower estimates of prevalence than would
be obtained from the combined use of the
FPG and OGTT (Table 4).
The Expert Committee recognizes an
intermediate group of subjects whose glucose levels, although not meeting criteria
for diabetes, are nevertheless too high to
be considered altogether normal. This
group is defined as having FPG levels
110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/l) but 126
mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) or 2-h values in the
OGTT of 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/l) but
200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l). Thus, the categories of FPG values are as follows:

decile group. Note that these deciles and the prevalence rates of retinopathy differ considerably
among the studies, especially the Egyptian study, in which diabetic subjects were oversampled.
Retinopathy was ascertained by different methods in each study; therefore, the absolute prevalence
rates are not comparable between studies, but their relationships with FPG, 2-h PG, and HbA1c are
very similar within each population.

therapy. No change is made in the American Diabetes Associations recommendations of FPG 120 mg/dl (6.7 mmol/l)
and HbA1c 7% as treatment goals (137).
The new diagnostic cutpoint (FPG 126
mg/dl [7.0 mmol/l]) is based on the observation that this degree of hyperglycemia usually reflects a serious metabolic
abnormality that has been shown to be
associated with serious complications.
The treatment of nonpregnant patients
with hyperglycemia near the cutpoint
should begin with an individualized lifestyle-modification regimen (i.e., meal
planning and exercise). Initiation of pharmacological therapy in these patients has
not yet been shown to improve prognosis
and may lead to an unacceptably high incidence of hypoglycemic reactions with
certain drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, insulin).
The new criteria have implications for
estimates of the prevalence of diabetes.
Although an FPG 126 mg/dl (7.0
mmol/l) and a 2-h PG 200 mg/dl (11.1
mmol/l) have similar predictive value for
adverse outcomes, the two tests are not
perfectly correlated with each other. A
given person may have one glucose value
above one cutpoint and another value below the other cutpoint. Thus, simultaneous measurement of both FPG and 2-h
PG will inevitably lead to some diagnostic
discrepancies and dilemmas. Although
diagnosing diabetes by either test will result in a similar number of cases, different individuals in different hyperglycemic
stages may be identified. (This situation
would be even more complicated if a third
diagnostic test, such as HbA 1c , were
used.) However, according to the data reviewed above, there is no basis for concluding that the 2-h PG is more reliable
than the FPG. Thus, the FPG alone should
be used for estimating the comparative
prevalence of diabetes in different populations.
Table 4 shows the effect of the new
diagnostic criteria on the estimated prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. population
aged 40 74 years using data from
NHANES III. Diagnosing diabetes in
those without a medical history of diabetes by using only the FPG test would result in a lower prevalence of diabetes than
would using WHO criteria (4.35 vs.
6.34%). The total prevalence of diabetes
(including those with a medical history)
would be 12.27%, or 14% lower than the
prevalence of 14.26% by the WHO criteria. Of note, these prevalence estimates
