Abstract

Objectives: Available data on biological variation of HbA(1c) revealed marked heterogeneity. We therefore investigated and estimated the components of biological variation for HbA(1c) in a group of healthy individuals by applying a recommended and strictly designed study protocol using two different assay methods.
