Using a cation-exchange chromatographic method, we found normal or subnormal values for glycosylated hemoglobin in a few diabetic patients with persistent hyperglycemia. Subsequent investigations revealed that these unexpected results had originated from black patients with diabetes. In view of common occurrence of abnormal hemoglobins in the Negro population, we subjected blood preparations to...

background many sufferers of type i diabetes, as they are young, need support in order to be able to continue their care; therefore, to have social support could have a role in improving the metabolic control. accordingly, the present study was done in order to determine the perceived social support and its relationship to the glycosylated hemoglobin in the children and adolescents who suffer f...

The apparent proportion of column-chromatographically measured glycosylated hemoglobin in erythrocytes from an individual with hemoglobins A, S, and G was only 2.3% because the slow glycosylated variant hemoglobins were retarded in the column. In contrast, the value for glycosylated hemoglobin was 7.8% by a new cellulose acetate electrophoretic method that includes use of dextran sulfate buffer...

background the goal of diabetes control should be feasible in order to minimize the risk of its adverse events and to reduce its burden and cost on patients. the current study aimed to assess the status of glycemic control in male and female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) in kerman, iran.   methods in the present study, 500 t2dm (300 women and 200 men) from the kerman coronary ar...
