Application of serum glycated albumin in pregnancy / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Hyperglycemia during pregnancy is associated with many maternal and infant complications, hence strict blood glucose control during pregnancy is of great importance. Glycosylated hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c), glycated albumin (GA), self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are four main measures to assess sugar level during pregnancy. GA level is a reflection of blood sugar level in the past 2-3 weeks and is unlikely influenced by various factors, therefore holds great potential in better control of blood glucose to help improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
