“…Serum glycated albumin levels have been shown to reflect overall glycemic control during the previous 2 weeks [33,34], whereas HbA 1C provides an integrated measurement of blood glucose during the previous 2 to 3 months [35,36]. Schleicher et al [37] proposed that glycated serum protein is a more sensitive index than HbA 1C , possibly as a consequence of the higher albumin content of serum. Furthermore, Monnier et al [38] reported that urinary isoprostane level, which is one of the oxidative stress markers [39], was positively correlated with short-term glucose fluctuations, but not HbA 1C , in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.…”
