Rethinking the use of urine dipstick for early diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Transport workers, seafarers and fishers have biannual mandatory fit-for duty medical examinations. Urine dipstick is used for early diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to low sensitivity with more than 80% false negatives the method should be replaced by highly sensitive blood tests, Hb1Ac or similar for diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus to pursue the UN Global Sustainable Goals, especially Goal 3: Good health and well-being for all workers and Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
