Determination of glucose
• Specimens used
– whole blood
» used with home glucose monitoring units
» cellular use of glucose gives 7% decrease/hour
» NaF preserves glucose 24 hr, RT
• cannot use such a specimen for enzyme assays,
especially urease
» lithium iodoacetate preserves glucose; does not
interfere with urease
» capillary blood = fasting venous level + 5 mg/dL
– plasma, serum
» 10-15% higher level than whole blood glucose
» RI: 70-105 mg/dL

Management of
diabetes mellitus
• Glycated hemoglobin
– irreversible reaction occurring throughout the 120-day
life span of rbc
– reflects timed average [glucose] over previous 4-8 weeks
– HbA1c = 80% total glycohemoglobin
– reference range: 3-6% total Hgb
– uncontrolled diabetes mellitus: 12-20% total Hgb
– controlled: 9-12% total Hgb
• Considerations when measuring HbA1c
– abnormal hemoglobins can also be glycated
– variability in levels of “labile fraction” (intermediates)
Management of
diabetes mellitus
For every 1% decrease in
HbA1c, risk of microvascular
complications is reduced by
35%

– other non-glycated Hb measured
» IEC: HbF and any others with charge like A1
» AC: none
– time
» IEC: 2-3 hrs
» AC: 15 minutes
– glycated hemoglobins measured
» IEC: A1a, 1b, 1c only
» AC: any glycated hemoglobin, including abnormals
– temperature sensitive?
» IEC: yes
» AC: no
Management of
diabetes mellitus
• Automated Method for HbA1c
– High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
– Cation exchange method
» the eluant must be __________________
» The first form of hemoglobin eluting from the
column must be _________________________
» The last form of hemoglobin eluting from the
column must be __________________________
Management of
diabetes mellitus
• Attempts to convert HbA1c value to “mean
blood glucose” value
– Nathan et al, 1984 using linear regression on data
from 21 patients
– 33.3 (%HbA1c) – 86
– Examples:
6.0% = ~115 mg/dL
7.5% = ~165 mg/dL
9.0% = ~215 mg/dL
Management of
diabetes mellitus
• Revised calculation, effective 3/21/05
– Rohlfing et al, 2002 using comparison data from
1500 patients
– (35.6 x %HbA1c) – 77.3
– Examples:
6.0% = ~136 mg/dL
7.5% = ~190 mg/dL
12.0% = ~350 mg/dL
– Only valid for A1c values between 6 and 12%
Management of
diabetes mellitus

Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis
• Hormones involved
– fed: insulin from pancreatic beta cells (Islets of
Langerhans)
» preproinsulin
proinsulin (A, B and C peptides)
insulin + C-peptide
» anabolic (synthesis)
» promotes cellular uptake of glucose
» increased:
• lipogenesis
• protein synthesis
• glycogenesis
» decreased:
• lipolysis
• ketone formation
• gluconeogenesis
• glycogenolysis
Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis
• Hormones involved
– fasting: glucagon from pancreatic alpha cells
» catabolic
» liver: glycogen converted to glucose, released into
blood
» muscle: glycogen converted to glucose-6-PO4,
remains in the muscle cell for its own energy needs
– “fight or flight” : epinephrine from adrenal medulla
» action similar to glucagon
Glycogenesis, glycogenolysis
• Stimulation of insulin release
–
–
–
–
glucose
leucine, arginine, histidine, phenylalanine
sulfonylureas (tolbutamides)
ACTH, GH
• Inhibition of insulin release
– thiazide diuretics
– dilantin (antiseizure)
– human placental lactogen (diabetes of pregnancy)
• Decreased tissue response to insulin
– glucocorticoids
– estrogens
– progestins
obesity
inactivity
low CHO diet
Gluconeogenesis
• cortisol (hydrocortisone)
– from adrenal cortex
– inhibits glucose entry into muscle, connective tissue,
lymphoid tissue
– stimulates release of gluconeogenic amino acids from
muscle
– promotes conversion of amino acids into glucose by liver
– stimulates lipolysis in adipose cells, releasing glycerol
for conversion to glucose by liver
• ACTH
– from anterior pituitary
– stimulates production of cortisol
Glycolysis
• NOTE!!
– if serum/plasma is not separated from cells soon after
collection, cellular use of glucose will continue, causing a
falsely decreased glucose result
Renal Threshold
• proximal convoluted tubule
– reabsorbs all glucose if <180 mg/dL
– glycosuria results if blood glucose >180 mg/dL
