Laboratory parameters are essential for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy control of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes-specific parameters including glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), C-peptide and autoantibodies against beta cell epitopes as well as parameters of lipid metabolism and renal function should be taken into account. The precise and reliable determination of these parameters in accordance with the guidelines of the German Federal Medical Council for the determination of laboratory diagnostics is fundamental for the correct classification and evaluation of the measurement results. For this, important pre-analytical and analytical limitations must be considered.
