Non-enzymatic glycation of proteins may explain this relationship in part. We investigated the effect of blood glucose control, under out-patient conditions, on fibrinogen glycation as well as the relationship between glycated fibrinogen and glycaemic control using a new sensitive method for the measurement of glycated fibrinogen.157371 bytesapplication/pdfenElsevierGlycationGlycaemic controlGlycated fibrinogenType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)Diabetes -- Research -- South AfricaBlood sugar monitoring -- South AfricaGlycosylationFibrinogen -- South AfricaPostprint Article
