Association between hemoglobin glycation index with insulin resistance and carotid atherosclerosis in non-diabetic individuals

Hemoglobin glycation index (HGI), defined as the difference between the observed HbA1c value and the value of HbA1c predicted from plasma glucose levels, represents a measure of the degree of non-enzymatic glycation of hemoglobin and it has been found to be positively associated with micro- and macr...
