However, the consistent results across varying levels of comorbidity and the persistent elevated hazards within strata of users and non-users matched for comorbid diagnoses strongly suggest that neither the level of individual health nor the presence of particular categories of comorbidity explains the bulk of the hazard associated with the use of hypnotic medications.
In conclusion, the weakness of the evidence for the current glucose criteria to diagnose diabetes strongly supports Dr. Sacks' contention based on measurement considerations that if A1C assays aligned with the DCCT assay (38) are available, the diagnosis of diabetes should be made by A1C levels ≥6.5% (24).
