Assessment and monitoring of metabolic control

Fructosamine and other glycated products

  • Fructosamine measures the glycation of serum proteins such as albumin and reflects glycemia over the preceding 3–4 weeks. It is therefore used for the assessment of shorter periods of control than HbA1c
  • Fructosamine has not been evaluated in terms of vascular risk
