HbA1c, which is correlated with 3-month mean glycaemia, is usually measured every 3–6 months. Effects of variations of treatment are routinely assessed through HbA1c not earlier than 3 months. Glycated albumin (GA) has been proposed as an indicator of shorter-term (2-week) glucose control Aim of the present pilot study was to explore the possibility of predicting 3-month HbA1c by measuring HbA1c or GA at 15–30 days. Twenty-seven metformin-treated patients with type 2...
