We had better start measuring and reporting it correctly then! :) Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Mohammad Al-Jubouri <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 18:55:41 +0000 Subject: Utility of Hemoglobin A1c in Predicting Diabetes Risk Dear All You may know by now that this is my favourite topic from my previous multiple postings, over the last two years, on extending the utility of HbA1c to the diagnosis of diabetes. I just want to draw your attention to a recent interesting original article on the above topic, see: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/abstract.asp?aid=2&iid=12&ref=0884-8734&vid=19 By: David Edelman et al. J Gen Intern Med 19(12):1175-1180, 2004. More and more evidence is being produced, we just need to keep an open mind on this controversial topic.
