Nearly 200 million people worldwide have type‐2 diabetes. Glucose sensors are routinely used for diagnosis; however, the relative amount of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) may be a better marker. A working electrode made from bare glassy carbon paste was used for sensing fructosyl valine (Fru‐Val), a component of HbA1c. Amperometric measurements revealed a linear relationship between Fru‐Val concentration and the sensing current. The square correlation coefficient and the sensitivity were 0.999 and 5.26 μA mM −1 , respectively. The minimum detection limit was less than 0.05 mM.
