Glycated haemoglobin molecule. Computer model showing a glucose molecule (centre) bound to a molecule of haemoglobin. The alpha and beta subunits of the haemoglobin are blue and pink,and the iron-containing haem groups are grey. Glycated haemoglobin is formed when glucose in the blood binds to a haemoglobin molecule. It is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time | |
