The Claim

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) can identify clinically significant hyperglycemia in individuals with normal HbA1c levels when discordant glycemic markers are suspected due to underlying inflammatory, hematologic, or pancreatic conditions.

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

Even if someone’s blood sugar test (HbA1c) looks normal, doctors might still find high blood sugar using other tests like CGM or OGTT—especially if they have certain health issues like inflammation or pancreas problems.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Normal glycosylated hemoglobin masking glucose dysregulation in a patient with pancreatic and hematologic disease

    The patient’s blood sugar test looked normal, but other tests showed high sugar levels. This happened because of pancreas and blood issues, proving that sometimes you need more than just the standard test.
