For decades diabetes diagnosis has depended on blood sugar measurements crossing a set threshold. Researchers now worry this method misses millions of people already developing the disease. Better detection tools are in development to address these shortcomings.
Doctors have long relied on blood glucose levels to identify diabetes risk. The approach works for many but falls short in certain populations where the disease progresses without clear blood sugar spikes.
