Evaluation of the metabolic balance in type 2 diabetes by assay of the hair glucose.
The authors used a relative new method of long term retrospective evaluation of metabolic balance in type 2 diabetes. This method was based on the variations of the glucose in the hair with the variations of HbA1c (r=+0.96; p<0.001). In this way the authors could follow up the diabetic's metabolic balance on longer time periods than by determination of the HbA1 values.
