Figure 2. Diabetes diagnosis at the end of follow-up, by HbA1c sub-group. For each HbA1c subgroup, the percentage of patients who were diagnosed with diabetes appears in dark colour, and the percentage not diagnosed in light colour. The six sub-groups were determined according to the first HbA1c value measured on the index day, as follows: Reference group: HbA1c < 4.5%; sub-group #1: 4.5% ≤ HbA1c < 5%; sub-group #2: 5% ≤ HbA1c < 5.5%; sub-group #3: 5.5% ≤ HbA1c < 6%; sub-group #4: 6% ≤ HbA1c < 6.5%; sub-group #5: 6.5% ≤ HbA1c < 7%.

Figure 3. Kaplan–Meier curve of the time to type 2 diabetes diagnosis, according to HbA1c sub-group on index day. The curves depict, for each HbA1c subgroup, the decreases in percentage of individuals who remained without a diagnosis of diabetes during the follow-up period, up to eight years.
