Relationship Between Estimated Glycosylated Hemoglobin Using Flash Glucose Monitoring and Actual Measured Glycosylated Hemoglobin in a Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between actual measured glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and estimated glycated hemoglobin (EA1c) in the flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

This study was conducted in Nanjing First Hospital. Each patient used FGM twice in a 3-month period (during the first 14 days immediately after baseline and during a second 14-day period from days 76 to 90 after baseline). HbA1c measurements were made using a high-performance liquid chromatography assay before the start of the first FGM period (baseline) and at the end of the second FGM period.

Results

A total of 74 patients (35 men; mean age ± standard deviation [SD] 67.6 ± 5.2 years) were enrolled in the study.
