A Review of Glycated Albumin as an Intermediate Glycation Index for Controlling Diabetes; H. Vernon Roohk, Ph.D. and Asad R. Zaidi, B.Sc., B.S.; Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Volume 2, Issue 6, November 2008.

 

   This article reviews glycated albumin (GA) as a potential intermediate-term glycation index to fill the gap between self-           monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and hemoglobin A1c testing in diabetes management. The introduction gives an assessment of available short-, medium-, and long-term glycemic indicators.

    Measurement of the percentage of glycated albumin has been proposed as an improved diabetes control index based on levels   of short-to-intermediate glycation. This article presents a critique of current methods of monitoring glycemia in diabetics, followed by a detailed discussion of current and historical information on the range of reported values for glycated albumin in normal and diabetic subjects derived from a number of different test methodologies.

 

 

Abstract: Blood Testing And Monitoring For Type 2 Diabetes Control; Vernon Roohk, Ph.D.; University Of California, Irvine; et al.; Epinex Diagnostics, June 2006.

 

This abstract presents a brief review of the principal methods of glycation assessment for control of diabetes, including hemoglobin A1C, fructosamine and glycated albumin.
