2. Glycated hemoglobin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycated_hemoglobin

   A1c is of particular interest because it is easy to detect. The process by which sugars attach to hemoglobin is called glycation and the reference system is based on HbA1c, defined as beta-N-1-deoxy fructosyl hemoglobin as component. [4] There are several ways to measure glycated hemoglobin, of which HbA1c (or simply A1c) is a standard single ...

3. Doctors Explain How to Lower Your A1C Level

   The A1C test measures the percentage of your red blood cells that have hemoglobin coated in sugar. Higher A1C levels are linked to diabetes or prediabetes. Maskot - Getty Images.

4. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

   Because red blood cells (erythrocytes) have a higher concentration of protein (e.g., hemoglobin) than serum, serum has a higher water content and consequently more dissolved glucose than does whole blood. To convert from whole-blood glucose, multiplication by 1.14 [35] has been shown to generally give the serum/plasma level.

5. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,5-Anhydroglucitol

   As a result, it can be used for people with either type-1 or type-2 diabetes mellitus to identify glycemic variability or a history of high blood glucose even if current glycemic measurements such as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and blood glucose monitoring have near normal values. Despite this possible use and its approval by the FDA, 1,5-AG tests ...

   For older adults with diabetes, having a more stable hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level over time may be associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer disease and dementia, a new study finds.

7. Fructosamine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructosamine

   In a similar way to hemoglobin A1c testing (which measures the glycation of hemoglobin), fructosamine testing determines the fraction of total serum proteins that have undergone glycation (the glycated serum proteins). Since albumin is the most abundant protein in blood, fructosamine levels typically reflect albumin glycation.
