Given that the proposed HbA1c diagnostic for screening are both insensitive and racially discrepant, what is the optimal way to screen for diabetes?

ARICEPT (donepezil HCl) is a prescription medicine to treat mild Alzheimer’s disease (up to 10 mg/day) and moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease (up to 23 mg/day). Before starting on ARICEPT 23 mg/day, patients should be on ARICEPT 10 mg/day for at least 3 months. The starting dose of ARICEPT is 5 mg/day and can be increased to 10 mg/day after 4-6 weeks. Please take ARICEPT as prescribed by the doctor.
On its own, spironolactone is only a weak diuretic because its effects target the distal nephron (collecting tubule), where urine volume can only be slightly modified; but it can be combined with other diuretics to increase efficacy.
