Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c): Clinical Applications of a Mathematical ConceptDOI: 10.5455/aim.2016.24.233-238 Keywords: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), mathematical model, area under the curve, diabetes mellitus, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), glycemic control Abstract: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects the cumulative glucose exposure of erythrocytes over a preceding time frame proportional to erythrocyte survival. HbA1c is thus an areal function of the glucose-time curve, an educationally useful concept to aid teaching and clinical judgment
