To compare ion exchange and boronate affinity chromatography for HbA(1c) estimation in patients with type I and II diabetes having hemoglobin D.
Systems based on ion exchange and boronate affinity chromatography were evaluated and compared for their performance for HbA(1c) estimation in patients with homozygous and heterozygous D disease.
Boronate affinity chromatography shows least interference by HbD in heterozygous as well as homozygous diabetic patients for HbA(1c) estimation.
The use of boronate affinity chromatography was found to be helpful in evaluating glycemic control in diabetic subjects with HbD.
