Summary: The mean glycosylated haemoglobin A, level in 200 diabetics, 13‐2%±2–6 (1SD), was nearly twice the level found in 100 non‐diabetics, 7–42%±0–6 (1SD), and overlap between the two populations was minimal. Glycosylated haemoglobin A, levels, fasting and two hour post‐prandial blood glucose concentrations and 24 hour urinary glucose excretion were measured at intervals over a period of 12 weeks in six diabetics requiring stabilisation. A close correlation was found between glycosylated haemoglobin A y levels and short term parameters of control.
