While the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is usually straightforward because of typical symptoms and signs along with an unequivocally high plasma glucose, there is still considerable controversy about diagnostic criteria for diabetes based on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Recently there has been world-wide recognition of the need for standardisation of these criteria. A new set of diagnostic criteria, based on prospective and cross-sectional epidemiologic studies have now been recommended by a World Health Organisation Expert Committee on Diabetes. The new criteria set out recommendations for normal subjects, those with impaired glucose tolerance (a borderline group), and diabetics. The use of these criteria should result in uniform reporting of the OGTT, as well as reducing to a minimum the mis-diagnosis of diabetes.
虽然糖尿病的诊断通常很直接，因为有典型的症状和体征以及明确升高的血糖水平，但基于口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）的糖尿病诊断标准仍存在相当大的争议。最近，全球都认识到需要对这些标准进行标准化。世界卫生组织糖尿病专家委员会现已推荐了一套基于前瞻性和横断面流行病学研究的新诊断标准。新准则为正常受试者、糖耐量受损者（临界组）和糖尿病患者提出了建议。使用这些标准应能实现OGTT报告的统一，并将糖尿病的误诊率降至最低。
