Proteic sulphur levels in hair, a possible tool to manage the balance of IDDM.
Assays of proteic sulphur levels in the hair of patients with new detected IDDM which were followed up for 6 months, showed a negative correlation between HbA1c and proteic sulphur levels. Because the length of hair could provide in evolution a longer period than HbA1c (for every month hair raise with 1 cm), assays of proteic sulphur levels could give information about balance of diabetes for much more time than HbA1c.
