1 -- The ADA (2010) recommends measuring levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), with a level of 6.5% enough to make a diagnosis of diabetes. Levels of 5.7% to 6.49% indicate a high risk for developing both diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and are a marker for preDM. The nurse’s priority is to assure the patient obtains the information necessary to allow the patient to make healthful lifestyle choices and reduce the risk of developing diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
