Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2009 Feb;83(2):e43-6. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2008.11.028. Epub 2009 Jan 8.

Abstract

Aim: To establish reference interval of HbA1c IFCC in Thai.

Materials and methods: 699 whole blood samples were used. Samples had fasting plasma glucose >or=126 mg/dl (7.00 mmol/L), renal problem or hemoglobinopathy was excluded.

Results: Reference interval of HbA1c IFCC was 2.90-4.90%.

Conclusion: Effect of age should be determined.
