Abstract:
Estimation of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels by modified Fluckinger and Winterhalter's method was done in 25 normal persons, 25 diabetic patients without retinopathy, and 25 diabetic patients with retinopathy. The HbA1c values were significantly higher in diabetic patients with or without retinopathy than in the control group (P less than .001). In diabetic patients with retinopathy, the mean value of HbA1c was higher in proliferative retinopathy than in background retinopathy, but statistical analysis showed this was not significant (P greater than .6).
