Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonenzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin A, resulting in the formation of HbA1c, occurs when there is prolonged elevated serum glucose, commonly seen in patients with poorly controlled diabetes. The hyperglycemia commonly associated with T2D results in increased circulating levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, designated as the level of HbA_1c, often designated as just A_1c. HbA₁ is the major form of adult hemoglobin in the blood and the "c" refers to the glycosylated form of the protein.
