title: [Importance of the determination of fructosamine in monitoring diabetic patients].
abstract: Protein glycosylation plays a role in the metabolic control and in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications; indeed it has an important role in the process leading to micro- and macroangiography in diabetes. In an attempt to determine the clinical value of fructosamine assay for monitoring type II diabetic patients, the correlation of fructosamine and HbA1c, glycemia, cholesterol and triglycerides was studied. The results show that fructosamine is a good index for short-term metabolic control of diabetic patients.
