Conclusions/interpretation Dysglycaemia detected in an OGTT or based on random plasma glucose is a useful marker in the prediction of time to onset of type 1 diabetes in high-risk children. Random plasma glucose is a simple and low-cost measurement with comparable predictive characteristics to that of OGTT-derived 2 h glucose.
