Abstract

Modified haemoglobin levels were quantified in 21 Type 1 and 21 Type 2 diabetic patients and two groups of 17 non-diabetic subjects. Glycated haemoglobin levels were increased in diabetes but glutathionyl haemoglobin (HbSSG) levels did not differ between groups, nor by complications; nor correlate with haemoglobin glycation or vascular risk factors. © 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
