CORRELATION OF FASTING AND POST-PRANDIAL PLASMA GLUCOSE WITH GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC TYPE 2

Introduction: Meaurment of glycated hamoglobin is the accepted indicator of long therm glycemic control. This study wase done to evaluate the relative value beetwen plasma glucose at different time point and glycated gemoglubin.
 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This is a descriptive cross sectional study on type 2 diabetic patients who reffered to Isfahan endocrin and reaserch center. Each two week or month giycemic pofiles . le, plasma glucose at prebreakfast (8:00 AM) 2 hour postprandial and Extended post Lunch (5:00PM) times points plasma glucose were compared with measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after 3 months. Result were analysed by multiple linear regression and pyerson correlation confidence.
 RESULTS: Mean plasma glucose for Fasting, 2 hpp, 5 PM and HbA1C was 147.3±57.08 1999.83 ± 52.99, 178.68 ±68.17 and 9.35 ±1.5 and corelation confidence between plasma glucose and HbA1C 0.316 , 0.460 and 0.548 Respectively. Multiple regression between plasmaglucose and glycated hemoglobin was 0.651 with p< 0.0001.
 Conclusions: in type 2 diaabetic patients extended postlumch (5:00 PM) plasma glucose and 2 hour postprandial are beter correlation with HbA1C than fasting plasma glucose
