How to evaluate HbA1c results when HbA is absent

Hemoglobinopathy expert, Marco Flamini, will explain why HbA1c regardless of method should not be used to measure glycemic control when HbA is absent. In this video, you will learn:

Why HbA1c cannot be measured in hemoglobin disorders, such as homozygote and double heterozygote, where HbA is absent, as well as how it affects RBC physiology and glycation

What these blind HbA1c methods falsely measure and report as HbA1c along with the risks; and

Which analytes should be used in homozygous and double heterozygous cases to measure glycemic control in a patient.
