Question

Match List I with List II:

List I (WHO Diagnostic Criteria)	List II (Blood Glucose Levels)
(A) Fasting plasma glucose in diabetic patient	(I) Less than 126 mg/dL
(B) Fasting plasma glucose in Impaired Glucose Tolerance	(II) More than 126 mg/dL
(C) 2-hour plasma glucose in Impaired Glucose Tolerance	(III) Less than 140 mg/dL
(D) Fasting Glucose	(IV) 140–200 mg/dL

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

WHO diagnostic criteria help differentiate between diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, and normal glucose levels based on fasting and postprandial blood glucose values.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Based on the WHO diagnostic criteria:

• Fasting plasma glucose in diabetic patient: More than 126 mg/dL (II)
• Fasting plasma glucose in Impaired Glucose Tolerance: Less than 126 mg/dL (I)
• 2-hour plasma glucose in Impaired Glucose Tolerance: 140–200 mg/dL (IV)
• Fasting Glucose: Less than 140 mg/dL (III)

Hence, the correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
