Relationship between mean blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin in Type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract

Our results establish for the first time a strong correlation between MBG and HbA(1c) in Type 2 diabetic patients and support the idea of expressing HbA(1c) results as MBG. This will help patients to gain a clearer interpretation of the result, with less confusion. This simplification will allow every person with diabetes using home glucose-monitoring to understand his or her own target level.
