Transport workers like seafarers, truck-, bus-, train- and taxi drivers and fishers have a known great inequity in health at work including high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Their routine mandatory medical examinations use urine glucose for diabetes check with more than 50% false negatives, which should be replaced by high sensitive tests for diabetes-2, like A1C, Fasting Glucose (FPG) or Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).
海员、卡车司机、公交车司机、火车司机、出租车司机和渔民等运输行业工作者在工作中的健康状况存在明显的不平等,包括患2型糖尿病的风险较高。他们常规的强制性体检使用尿糖来检测糖尿病,假阴性率超过50%,应该用高灵敏度的2型糖尿病检测方法来取代,如糖化血红蛋白(A1C)、空腹血糖(FPG)或口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)。
