Correlation between short- and mid-term hemoglobin A1c and glycemic control determined by continuous glucose monitoring

Effect of short-term iPRO continuous glucose monitoring on hemoglobin A1c levels in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE This study determined if short-term (professional) blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves hemoglobin A1c levels in a mixed group of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the clinical setting of an office practice. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 102 consecutive patients with diabetes over the course of 10 months in a subspecialty ...

Effect on glycemic control by short- and long-term use of continuous glucose monitoring in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND In Sweden, patients with diabetes mellitus frequently receive short-term (<3 months) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to study glucose patterns or long-term CGM to treat poor glycemic control or severe hypoglycemia. The effects of CGM on glycemic control in clinical practice in relation to indication and duration of use has not been completely studied. METHODS Patients with diab...

Correlation between Standard Clinical Chemistry and Point of Care Testing Analyzers on Hemoglobin A1C Determination

The correlation of hemoglobin A1c to blood glucose.

The understanding that hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) represents the average blood glucose level of patients over the previous 120 days underlies the current management of diabetes. Even in making such a statement, we speak of "average blood glucose" as though "blood glucose" were itself a simple idea. When we consider all the blood glucose forms-arterial versus venous versus capillary, whole blood ver...
