Abstract:
GH and FA are useful monitors in the care of diabetic patients. For most situations, GH is the preferred test and should be routinely monitored. FA should be reserved for exceptional situations in which blood glucose control over one to two weeks must be assessed or in patients with a hemoglobinopathy. Patients with diabetes should be advised of their present GH level and the preferred goal.
