Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies specific for an epitope found on hemoglobin glycated both in vivo and in vitro but not found on hemoglobin A.sub.o or hemoglobin A.sub.1c are provided. Use of these antibodies to measure glycohemoglobin levels in the blood provides a measure of the glucose levels in the erythrocyte for the previous 90-120 days. No reduction of the blood sample is required to produce the epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibodies.
