[Effect of a change in posture on the diurnal variations of fructosamine concentration in diabetic patients].
Daily profiles of blood glucose, HbA1c, total protein and fructosamine were measured in 10 diabetic patients and the factor fructosamine x 7/g total protein was calculated. Measurements were done at 4 a.m. to be sure that the patients were sleeping for some time, during the day and the following evening at 11 p.m., when the patients were lying again, so that the influence of orthostasis, the difference between bed rest and walking could be demonstrated. The blood glucose profile was typical whereas the HbA1c concentration was very stable and constant. Total protein and fructosamine increased significantly by orthostasis; the correction of fructosamine by total protein diminished the differences, but did not completely eliminate the effect of orthostasis. However, fructosamine should be corrected by the total protein concentration in order to increase the diagnostic value of the parameter.
