Abstract
As red blood cells age, their hemoglobin is progressively glycosylated. This invention relates to analyzing the history of blood sugar metabolism over a period of several months by taking a blood sample, separating the cells into age-ordered cohorts, determining glycohemoglobin levels in the cells of each cohort, and correlating glycohemoglobin levels with red blood cell age, while correcting for the reversibility of the Amadori rearrangement.
