[Level of glycosylated hemoglobin in children with newly diagnosed diabetes during their hospitalization].
Percent of HbA1 was determined in 60 children with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus at the beginning and end of their first hospitalization. High levels of HbA1 (over 15%) were found in the majority of children at the admittance which means late diagnosis. A decrease in HbA1 by 0.5-7.5% was noted in 76% of all diabetic children treated at the hospital for 7-24 days. In 54% out of these children HbA1 levels decreased by 1.5-4.5%. Mean HbA1 value was 3.6% following a two-week hospitalization, and 3.7%--after 3 weeks. Mean decrease in HbA1 for all treated children was 0.18% per week. Positive correlation between HbA1 and its percentage and mean glycaemia at the beginning of hospitalization was seen. No correlation between HbA1 values measured at the end of hospitalization and blood glucose levels determined during the whole hospitalization period was found.
