Abstract
Serum fructosamine (SFRC) was estimated using single colour reading procedure in 50 normals and 160 adult onset random diabetics. Serum fructosamine levels were observed to be 1.86±0.321 m moles/L (Range 1.0 to 2.4) and 3.44±0.671 (Range 2.0 to 5.7) in normal and diabetic subjects respectively. Serum fructosamine levels as determined by the method adapted, were found to be unaffected by a transient rise in serum glucose levels during an oral glucose tolerance test. Significantly elevated SFRC concentration was also seen in diabetic groups in spite of different combinations of antidiabetic treatment. Attempts to correlate SFRC with duration and secondary complications of diabetes did show significant elevation in all the groups irrespective of duration and complications thus indicating poor glycemic control.
