Association between blood glucose level derived using the oral glucose tolerance test and glycated hemoglobin level
Hyoung Joo Kim, Young Geon Kim, Jin Soo Park, Young Hwan Ahn, Kyoung Hwa Ha, Dae Jung Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2016;31(3):535-542. Published online February 22, 2016
Background/Aims: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is widely used as a marker of glycemic control. Translation of the HbA1c level to an average blood glucose level is useful because the latter figure is easily understood by patients. We studied the association between blood glucose levels revealed by the ..
