So why is the ADA supporting A1c for diagnostic screening?
Because, if you don't have an agenda and do have a brain, it's a
valuable diagnostic tool. Your use of the word "screening" indicates
that you're also a tool, albeit not a valuable one.
Care to explain why you bring this up again? That you use
"x-no-archive: yes", doesn't mean that our memory is faulty, or our News
servers are broken, or ...

"The present study demonstrates that this systematic A1c bias makes eAG
a systematically biased estimate of MBG downloaded from patient glucose
meters in high and low HGI patients. It is important to emphasize that
the present study used routine A1c and MBG data typical of that
available in most diabetes clinics. If A1c is reported as eAG, patients
and clinicians will be confronted with significant discrepancies between
eAG and self-monitored MBG which will confound interpretation of
glycemic control."
