In these excerpts, and elsewhere in the paper, the authors dance around
the question of whether the 10% of their participants who had BG
excursions above 200 in fact do have diabetes, despite the fact that the
fasting levels and A1c are below the diagnostic threshhold.

It at least *used* to be true here in the US that two random readings
over 200 were diagnostic of diabetes. As long as you twice, on
different occasions, doesn't matter when except not at the same time,
exceed 200, you're diabetic.

Indeed. But to make a diagnosis on this basis, you have to test at other
times besides fasting in the morning.

No, it was *random* as in *any* time, not "any time except first thing
in the morning."
