Most clinical studies recommend the use of HbA1c assays that are traceable to the DCCT assay. [55] The National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and IFCC have improved assay standardization. [37] For initial diagnosis of diabetes, only HbA1c methods that are NGSP-certified should be used, not point-of-care testing devices. [36]
On average, each change of 3.3 mmol (60 mg/dL) in average blood sugar levels will give rise to changes of 2% HbA1c and 75 μmol fructosamine values. [6] However, this overemphasizes the upper limit of many laboratories' reference ranges of 285 μmol/L as equivalent to HbA1c 7.5% rather than 6.5%.
Omentin is an anti-inflammatory adipokine produced preferentially by visceral adipose tissue. Plasma omentin-1 levels are significantly decreased in patients with obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes that contribute to the major components of the metabolic syndrome.
The Amadori rearrangement is an organic reaction describing the acid or base catalyzed isomerization or rearrangement reaction of the N-glycoside of an aldose or the glycosylamine to the corresponding 1-amino-1-deoxy-ketose. [1] The reaction is important in carbohydrate chemistry, specifically the glycation of hemoglobin (as measured by the ...

Glycation is the non-enzymatic process responsible for many (e.g. micro and macrovascular) complications in diabetes mellitus and is implicated in some diseases and in aging. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Glycation end products are believed to play a causative role in the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus .

The IFCC's aims are to set global standards, support and educate its members, and provide conferences and other gatherings for sharing knowledge among the global laboratory medicine community. [ 1 ] IFCC members fall into three groups: national societies of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, corporations , and affiliate international ...
