Measuring change
Abstract
A change in the reporting of HbA1c is
being adopted globally,
including in Australia.
It's anticipated that this
change will, among other
things, make it easier for doctors
to educate their patients
about the importance of glycaemic
control. However, to
understand how this change
will help in practice, it's useful
to firstly understand what
HbA1c is and to know something
of the history of how
laboratories have measured
the HbA1c assay.
