The validity of the 2-hour post-prandial (2HPP) urine glucose was determined among a Malay community in Kuala Selangor. Fifty glycosuric and 80 non-glycosuric samples had their capillary blood glucose and fasting blood sugar tested to determine their diabetic status. It was found that the test was very sensitive but less specific (sensitivity 100% and specificity 72.1%). Samples with 2HPP urine glucose of 3 + had a higher probability of being diabetic than the others.
