Hba1c
HbA1c, also known as glycosylated hemoglobin, is a biomarker used as an indicator of average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-3 months. It is a useful diagnostic tool used to detect, diagnose, and manage diabetes, pre-diabetes and other medical conditions, such as kidney disease. HbA1c is measured by taking a small blood sample, which is then tested to measure the percentage of hemoglobin that has been glycosylated, or “glucose-coated”, over the past 2-3 months. A higher than normal HbA1c value may demonstrate elevated blood sugar levels, which helps healthcare professionals evaluate treatment plans for diabetes and other medical conditions.

Glycomics is particularly important in microbiology because glycans play diverse roles in bacterial physiology. Metabolomics combines strategies to identify and quantify cellular metabolites using sophisticated analytical technologies with the application of statistical and multi-variant methods for information extraction and data interpretation.
