Correlation between glycated haemoglobin and glucose testing for diabetes mellitus screening

Nandini Agarwal et al. Indian J Med Sci. 2013 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Hemoglobin A1C is used to screen and diagnose diabetes but measurement of glucose in the blood is subject to several limitations, many of which are not widely appreciated. Blood glucose testing should be taken into consideration before taking the patient to be diabetic on the basis of abnormal HbA1c values.
