Journal Title: Міжнародний ендокринологічний журнал - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 62
Abstract
Considering the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, the possibility of early and rapid progress of complications, a large number of undiagnosed cases and disappointing forecasts of the WHO on the prospects of diabetes mellitus spreading in the world, timely and accurate diagnosis of carbohydrate metabolism disorders is important. The glycated hemoglobin — an indicator that, while using the standardized methods, provides an integrated view of the glycemia level during a long period of time and allows timely detection of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. When using the glycated hemoglobin as a diagnostic criterion for detecting carbohydrate metabolism disorders or degree of diabetes mellitus compensation, the correct approach to the choice of the method of this index determination, considering its analytical reliability, is important.
