چکیده
This is the first of a series of articles based on presentations at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions held 5–9 June 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The useful measurement of A1C became standard in assessment of glycemia (2). A1C, rather than direct measures of glycemia, is now used as the “goal” for diabetes treatment (3,4).
