Abstract
This commentary aims to move the debate regarding the adoption of HbA<sub>1c</sub> for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes forwards by highlighting the need to avoid addressing irrelevant questions, in particular, comparison of individuals diagnosed with different diagnostic criteria. Instead, we provide a list of important future questions, including whether adoption of HbA<sub>1c</sub> as the primary diagnostic test improves uptake of diabetes screening, with resultant earlier diagnosis and improvement in outcomes.
