Evaluation of a colorimetric method for canine glycosylated hemoglobin.
Glycosylated hemoglobins can be used to monitor glucose status and the effectiveness of insulin therapy in canine diabetes mellitus. We have compared a colorimetric method with a time-consuming chromatographic method for measuring glycosylated hemoglobins in canine blood. Although the colorimetric method is sensitive to hemoglobin concentration, its convenience and sample size make it a possible alternative to other methods.
