diagnostic studies for type ii diabetes mellitus would include which of the following:
hba1c (>6.5%)
fasting plasma glucose (= to or >126 mg/dl)
random plasma glucose (>200 mg/dl)
all the above
none of the above
previous

Explanation:

• HbA1C: It reflects average blood glucose over 2 - 3 months. A value > 6.5% is diagnostic for diabetes.
• Fasting Plasma Glucose: Fasting (no caloric intake for 8 hours). A value = to or > 126 mg/dL is diagnostic.
• Random Plasma Glucose: Random blood draw (not fasting). A value > 200 mg/dL with symptoms (polyuria, polydipsia, unexplained weight loss) is diagnostic.

Since all three tests (HbA1C, Fasting Plasma Glucose, Random Plasma Glucose) are valid diagnostic studies for Type II Diabetes Mellitus when their respective criteria are met.

Answer:

All the above
