Glycosylated haemoglobin in non-diabetic peripheral vascular disease

Glycosylated haemoglobin (Hb A1c) was measured in 20 patients with severe peripheral vascular disease (P.V.D.) and 12 controls. Levels were significantly higher in those with P.V.D. and this may be due to mild carbohydrate intolerance frequently exhibited by this group of patients.
