<unk>  (or glycated) hemoglobin (hemoglobin<unk> ,<unk>  , or<unk>  is a form of hemoglobin used primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Its name is sometimes abbreviated to<unk> . It is formed in a non-enzymatic pathway by hemoglobin's normal exposure to high plasma levels of glucose. Glycosylation of hemoglobin has been implicated in nephropathy and retinopathy in diabetes mellitus. Monitoring the<unk>  in type-1 diabetic patients may improve treatment.
