11. RUN a HbA1c TEST
Expected values
ADA's most recent Clinical Practice Recommendation for diabetes specifies a
treatment goal of less than 7.0 HbA1c %, 53 mmol/mol.
[Reference]
The American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) 2012 Clinical Practice.
Recommendation for diabetes specifies a treatment goal of less than 7 HbA1c %, 53
mmol/mol.
Limitation of Procedure
®
The HemoCue HbA1c 501 assay gives accurate and precise hemoglobin results in
the range 7 to 20 g/dL. Most patients will have hemoglobin concentrations within
this range.
However, patients with severe anemia may have hemoglobin concentrations below
7 g/dL, and patients with polycythemia may have hemoglobin concentrations above
20 g/dL. Patients known to have these conditions should be tested with another
method for determination of HbA1c%.
