What the engine reports

Detected clinical pattern

Prediabetes Criteria Met

At least one guideline prediabetes criterion is met.

  • Glycemic: Prediabetes Criteria Met
  • Validity: Interpretation modified by context
  • Metabolic syndrome: Metabolic syndrome: incomplete assessment
  • IR-associated pattern: IR-associated pattern: not assessable

Why this pattern was identified

  • Glycemic criteria met. FPG 100–125 mg/dL.

Recommended next steps

For physician consideration. Urgent review always comes first.

  1. 1Review prediabetes criteria and the patient's risk profile per current standards of care.Guideline criterion met (ADA).
  2. 2Interpret with the listed validity modifiers in mind.possible drug associated dysglycemia

Differentials, pitfalls and contradicting signals

  • Systemic corticosteroid exposure: dysglycemia should not be attributed to baseline insulin resistance alone.

Missing information

  • Metabolic syndrome components not entered: Elevated waist circumference; Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (or treated); Low HDL-C (men <40, women <50 mg/dL); BP ≥130/85 mmHg (or treated).
  • Fasting insulin (supporting pattern only; fasting and same-collection glucose required).

Fasting insulin (supporting only)Calculation and sandbox

Shown with HOMA-IR when fasting and same-collection are confirmed. It does not classify anything.

Research sandbox (unvalidated)

In production the insulin and HOMA-IR rules are off: no validated threshold profile exists. Here you can supply your own threshold to see how the sandbox rules would behave. The output is labeled a sandbox candidate and is never a diagnosis.
