Abstract

To the Editor: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA₁) is used as an index of glucose homeostasis in diabetic patients.¹ The concentration of HbA₁ in the erythrocyte is known to be determined by the mean blood glucose concentration and by the duration of glycosylation.² We wish to describe a new and important application of HbA₁. A 35-year-old woman was brought to the emergency room unconscious. She had a three-month history of feeling tired, irritable, and faint. These symptoms had been relieved by eating. She was found to be hypoglycemic on admission, and after a 12-hour fast the blood.
