Results: HbA1C and FBS results showed 400 peoples had HbA1c higher than 7, 272 peoples lower than %6. In the 672 people, 366 (54%) had a blood glucose lower than 126 mg / dl and 306 (46%) had a blood glucose greater than 126 mg / dl. In addition, 272 patients with FBS and HbA1c positive tests, 34 were positive for FBS, 128 were positive for HbA1c, and 238 had FBS and negative HbA1c tests.
