More than 30 million Americans are living with diabetes, and 86 million are living with prediabetes, which is a serious health condition that increases a person’s risk of type-2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. The prevalence of diabetes and overweight (one of the major risk factors for diabetes) continues to increase. Substantial new efforts to prevent or control diabetes have begun, including the Diabetes Prevention Trial and the National Diabetes Education Program.</p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">Diabetes testing provides population data to: 1) determine a national estimate of diabetes prevalence (diagnosed and undiagnosed); 2) identify the risk factors; 3) permit a national cohort to be established for follow-up studies of this condition; and 4) provide critical information to clinicians and public health officials for the development of preventive care and community-based interventions.</p></div>"

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase then converts the G-6-P to gluconate-6-P in the presence of NADP+. As the NADP+ is reduced to NADPH during this reaction, the resulting increase in absorbance at 340 nm (secondary wavelength = 700 nm) is measured. This is an endpoint reaction that is specific for glucose.</p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">Refer to the Laboratory Method Files section for a detailed description of the laboratory methods used.</p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">There were no changes to the lab site or lab method for this component in the NHANES 2017-2018 cycle.

Progress reports containing any problems encountered during shipping or receipt of specimens, summary statistics for each control pool, QC graphs, instrument calibration, reagents, and any special considerations are submitted to NCHS quarterly. The reports are reviewed for trends or shifts in the data. The laboratories are required to explain any identified areas of concern.</p></div>"

Analysts should evaluate the extent of missing data in the dataset related to the outcome of interest as well as any predictor variables used in the analyses to determine whether additional re-weighting for item non-response is necessary.</p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">Please refer to the NHANES <a href=\"https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/analyticguidelines.aspx\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 51, 153); text-decoration: none;\">Analytic Guidelines</a> and the on-line <a href=\"https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/tutorials/default.aspx\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 51, 153); text-decoration: none;\">NHANES Tutorial </a>for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.</p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"><strong>Subsample Weights<br></br><br></br></strong>Glucose was measured in a fasting subsample of participants 12 years and older. Specific sample weights (WTSAF2YR) for this subsample are included in this data file and should be used when analyzing these data. Participants included in the fasting subsample but did not provide a blood specimen (n=145) have an assigned sample weight value of “0” in their records. In addition, participants whom provided blood specimen but did not meet the 8 to less than 24 hour fasting criteria (n=180) have the sample weight value assigned as “0” (WTSAF2YR =0) as well. Glucose measurements for these 180 participants are included in the dataset. However, to include these data in the analysis, a reweighting would be required.<br></br><br></br><strong>Demographic and Other Related Variables</strong></p><p style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0px 3em 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">The analysis of NHANES laboratory data must be conducted using the appropriate survey design and demographic variables.

The other variable prefixed LBX (ex., LBXGLU<em>) </em>provides the analytic result for that analyte. For analytes with analytic results below the lower limit of detection (ex., LBDGLULC=1), an imputed fill value was placed in the analyte results field.

For analysis involving 2015-2016 data and data collected prior to 2007-2008 cycle, please refer to the documentation accompanying those data for additional information on any needed adjustments to the data prior to analysis. If 2017-2018 data are compared or combined with the 2015-2016 data, no adjustments are needed for equipment changes. As mentioned in the 2015-2016 documentation, most of the 2015-2016 samples were measured using the Cobas C311, which is the same instrument used in 2017-2018. Some of the samples were collected using the Cobas C501. Results for these specimens have already been adjusted using the forward regression equation for comparability. Please see the 2015-2016 fasting plasma glucose documentation for more information about using backwards or forwards regression models to account for equipment changes between cycles (include link to documentation here).</p></div>"
