  • Title: Value of glycosylated haemoglobin determination in diabetic pregnancy.
    Author: Macfarlane CM, Tsakalakos N, Taljaard JJ.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1985 Aug 31; 68(5):310-2. PubMed ID: 4035491.
    Abstract:
    A single measurement of total maternal glycosylated haemoglobin (Hb A1) in the late third trimester of a diabetic pregnancy is of limited value in assessing diabetic control. There was no significant correlation between maternal Hb A1 values and neonatal C-peptide values or birth-weight ratios. An isolated Hb A1 measurement is not sufficiently sensitive to monitor the control of diabetes during pregnancy nor is it useful in predicting perinatal outcome.
