The BEGET- Diagnostic Thresholds for Diabetes and Prediabetes in HIV infected is to identify appropriate HbA1c and fructosamine diagnostic thresholds for diabetes and prediabetes, based on strata of hemoglobin and other biomarker levels, among persons living with HIV (PLHIV).

The BEGET- Diagnostic Thresholds for Diabetes and Prediabetes in HIV infected is to identify appropriate HbA1c and fructosamine diagnostic thresholds for diabetes and prediabetes, based on strata of hemoglobin and other biomarker levels, among persons living with HIV (PLHIV).
Findings from the BEGET study are expected to inform the development of guidelines for the optimal use of glycated testing tools among PLHIV. Successful deployment of these at HIV care and treatment settings will enhance screening and early detection of diabetes and prediabetes in this population. The research is being conducted at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital.
