[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 78272, member: 11875"] Technical quibble: unlike many other tissues haemoglobin is initially glycated reversibly, so can recover from brief spikes, hence why reactive hypoglycemics and some others show apparently low A1c. After a specific time the glycation becomes irreversible. Chronic high BG can often be correlated with A1c, at high numbers it tends to track the FBG quite well, at lower A1c the postprandial numbers have more effect, one reason why using it as a diagnostic for diabetes fails to catch many patients.
