[Glycohemoglobin evaluation as a index of glycemic status in diabetic and prediabetic subjects]. / Dosaggio dell'emoglobina (Hb) glicosilata quale indice dello "status" glicemico dei soggetti diabetici e prediabetici.

HbA1c concentrations were evaluated according to Trivelli et al., in three groups of male and female subjects 14-65 years of age. Analysis of results confirms reliability of the test and its specificity in evaluating glycemic status in diabetic patients. The test does not appear to be any more sensitive than the traditional glucose tolerance test in detecting subjects at risk.
