title: The relationship between concentrations of glycosylated haemoglobins and of serum high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol in diabetic patients.
abstract: 1. Concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and of glycosylated haemoglobins [HbA1(a+b+c)] were measured in non-fasting blood samples taken from 171 diabetic patients. 2. Mean concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in men, and in patients not requiring insulin. 3. There was no correlation between concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and of HbA1(a+b+c) in the patients as a whole, but a significant positive correlation was found between these values in male diabetics not requiring insulin. 4. Changes in the concentrations of HbA1(a+b+c) were not correlated with changes in concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol.
