Abstract

An assay of plasma 1,5-anhydroglucitol was evaluated. Assay CVs, effects of four plasma freeze-thaw cycles, glucose up to 80. mmol/L and triglycerides up to 20. mmol/L were acceptable. 1,5-anhydroglucitol levels were significantly lower in diabetic vs. non-diabetic subjects and correlated inversely with renal function, but not with HbA1c. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
