The goals of treatment of type 2 diabetes are to reduce the risk of diabetic complications and, as a result, improve the quality and, possibly, duration of life. For several decades, authoritative guidelines instructed clinicians to strictly control glucose levels of patients with diabetes to accom...

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a stable minor Hb variant formed in vivo by posttranslational modification by glucose, originally identified by using cation exchange chromatography, and containing primarily glycated N-terminal beta-chains. However, the structure(s) of the quantified species has not been ...
Hemoglobin A1c is associated with coronary artery calcium in non-diabetic Korean adultsKim, B. JJung, E. SKim, B. SKang, J. H
Objective: Collateral circulation plays an important role for the nutrition of the myocardium in the region of chronic total occlusion (CTO), and affects clinical prognosis. It has been accepted that increased hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and subclinical atheroscl...
Is Hemoglobin A1c a Good Predictor of Patients Who May Benefit From a Weight Loss Clinic?: 1054Bhattacharya, SumonaHa, KaiMarshall, TimothyPawa, SwatiHunt, RameckOfficial journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG
Both plasma glucose levels and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were implicated as predictors of prognosis. However, previous data yielded conflicting results. We evaluated the prognostic role of plasma glucose levels and HbA1c in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). ...
Hemoglobin A1c and short-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty: an observational multicenter study. Several studies to date have examined whether admission levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) correlate with short-term and long-term outcomes in patients with...
Background: The association of speed of diffusion of Hemoglobin A1C (hbA1c) testing with temporal changes in outcomes of primary importance to patients with diabetes, such as amputation, remains an issue of debate. We investigated these correlations. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort ...
HemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) has been touted as one of the most important blood tests you can get. It reveals how well you’re controlling your blood sugar. Some experts recommend that you strive to get your HbA1c as low as possible—5.0 or less. But health authorities recently issued new ...
