Webinar: Diabetes—beyond HbA1c

Webinar: Diabetes—beyond HbA1c

Join Dr. Youssef Maakaroun, MD, as he discusses the various conditions associated with diabetes and how innovative assays can help optimize management of diabetes patients and route them for proper care.

Doctor consults with a diabetes patient about Hemoglobin A1c Measurement and Standardization

Webinar: HbA1c measurement and standardization

Webinar: Hemoglobin A1c measurement and standardization

The HbA1c test is used routinely to monitor glycemic control in diabetic individuals and diagnose diabetes. Dr. Randie Little, an expert in HbA1c laboratory, testing, discusses the importance of HbA1c testing in diagnosing diabetes, its measurement, and the standardization process.

Speaker:
