Effect of Long-Term Monitoring of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Levels in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract
The value of routine measurements of glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c) in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus is uncertain. We undertook this study to determine whether knowledge of hemoglobin A1c values would result in improved metabolic control in a group of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
