Glycosylated Haemoglobin Testing: A Review

The following article discusses the discovery, biochemistry, laboratory determination, clinical applications, and error for glycosylated haemoglobin. There is no one test method that is appropriate for all applications, and the development of widely recognized standards and reference ranges is unlikely in the near year. Nonetheless, the introduction of glycosylated haemoglobin tests represents a significant step forward. They provide the most accurate way of determining diabetic management. As a result of a growing awareness that chronic hyperglycemia is a substantial predictor of long-term issues, there has been a surge in interest in diabetes management monitoring. As a result, the discovery of glycosylated haemoglobin came at an ideal moment; measuring it should provide a more objective control evaluation than previously achievable. Therefore, before this promise can be fully fulfilled, technological difficulties must be solved
