Revision of the ILO guidelines for medical examinations for seafarers

edit

Which test for T2DM diagnostics can we recommend for the fit-for-duty examinations in the ILO Guidelines? ADA and DES recommend either A1C, fasting blood glucose, or glucose load for T2DM diagnosis. However, there are significant price differences and the maritime clinics may be unable to pay and access to clinical laboratories is also needed. Question: Should we recommend the use of a Glycometer (< 1 usd/test) [1]and the DIABSCORE [2][3]in the fit-for-duty studies where HbA1c is not possible or not wanted? .
