Normal Hemoglobin A1c Variability in Early Adolescence: Adult Criteria for Prediabetes Should Be Applied with Caution.

American Diabetes Association adult criteria are used to screen youth for diabetes, but little is known about normal glycemia in youth. In the HEALTHY Study (total n = 8814), hemoglobin A1c was ≥5.7% in 2% of normal weight youth. This suggests need for cautious interpretation of prediabetes hemoglobin A1s in youth.
