Senses: examples: text: Currently used methods to determine glycemia have certain disadvantages, including cost, heavy labor involvement, and storage problems.

The measured levels were then related to standard measures of glycemia, including glycosylated hemoglobin, glycosylated albumin, and fasting glucose. The effects of chronic illness and medications known to alter glucose tolerance were also investigated. […] Assay of serum fructosamine appears to be comparable to that of HbA1C for determination of glycemic control.
