Abstract
The relative importance of the measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin as an objective and quantitative index reflecting blood glucose levels of diabetics is well established. Similarly glycosylated plasma proteins could be used as an index of short term glycaemic control. Since no previous investigations have been carried out in Sri Lanka on glycosylated haemoglobin and plasma proteins, a suitable technique has been evaluated for the assay and the clinical norms established. The colorimetric method meets many of the criteria for an ideal laboratory test. It proves to be the most suitable method for the measurement of glycosylated haemoglobin and plasma proteins as a routine assay in general and regional hospitals in Sri Lanka.
