在黑人和南亚男子中,G6PD缺血症延迟第二型糖尿病诊断,可能因不准确的HbA1c检测而导致并发症。 G6PD deficiency delays type 2 diabetes diagnoses in Black and South Asian men, risking complications due to inaccurate HbA1c tests.

根据对510 000多人进行的一项研究,一种常见的遗传状况,即G6PD缺乏症,可能推迟联合王国黑人和南亚男子的2类糖尿病诊断,增加他们患肾、眼和神经损伤等严重并发症的风险。 A common genetic condition, G6PD deficiency, may be delaying type 2 diabetes diagnoses in Black and South Asian men in the UK, increasing their risk of serious complications like kidney, eye, and nerve damage, according to a study of over 510,000 people. 该病因影响红细胞,可能导致标准的HbA1c测试显示血糖读数低得不实,导致误诊或推迟诊断。 The condition, which affects red blood cells, can cause standard HbA1c tests to show falsely low blood sugar readings, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses. 大约七分之一的黑人男子和六十三分之一的南亚男子的缺血率远远高于白人男子——目前,50名受影响个人中只有不到一人得到承认。 About one in seven Black men and one in 63 South Asian men have the deficiency—far more than white men—yet fewer than one in 50 affected individuals are currently recognized. 专家们警告说,依赖HbA1c检测可能会加剧现有的健康差异,因为这些群体患未经诊断的糖尿病和面临更糟糕的结果的可能性已经是上述群体的两倍,专家们敦促进行例行筛查和更新检测规程,以确保公平护理。 Experts warn that reliance on HbA1c testing may worsen existing health disparities, as these groups are already twice as likely to have undiagnosed diabetes and face worse outcomes, urging routine screening and updated testing protocols to ensure equitable care.
