[Correlation of the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and total cholesterol, total triglycerides and HDL cholesterol in a sample of insulin-dependent diabetics]. 1989

E J Ezcurra Ferrer, and M Licea Puig, and A Reyes Durán

In 132 insulin-dependent diabetics (type I), between 15 and 45 years old (73 women and 59 men) glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1), total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and total triglycerides (TG) have been determined. We observed that sex did not significantly influence the parameters studied. In the younger group of patients (aged between 15 and 30 years) HbA1, TC, TG were significantly greater than in the older group of patients (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.01, respectively). In this series, an elevated correlation among HbA1 and TG levels was found. This was also found, although to a lesser extent, when considering TC levels (r = 0.45, p less than 0.05). However, no correlation between HbA1 and HDL-C was found in the total sample or regarding age. These results allow us to point out the usefulness and the application of HbA1 determination in evaluating the relationship between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in type 1 diabetics.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin.

D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
