Dear mailbase,
I wondered whether there were any guidelines, recommendations or thoughts on the topic of Hb variants identified, inadvertently, by HbA1c analysis.
How should variants and HbA1c results be reported in these patients?
What alternative tests should be recommended in these patients for monitoring of their diabetes? Is there any consensus on this?
What follow up testing, if any, should we be advising?
Your insight on this topic is much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Janice Reeve PhD. FRCPath
