Irreversible glycation of the hemoglobin A0 (HbA0) beta chain leads to the production of HbA1C, which can be used to monitor long-term blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus. HbA1C is less positively charged than nonglycated HbA0, and this decrease in charge is the basis of ion-exchange and electrophoretic methods that measure HbA1C. We recently identified a sample that appeared to contain 46%...
