Estimation of the hemoglobin glycation rate constant

Abstract In a previous study, a method of obtaining mean erythrocyte age ( $$M_{RBC}$$ M RBC ) from HbA1c and average plasma glucose (AG) was proposed. However, the true value of the hemoglobin glycation constant ( $$k_g$$ k g dL/mg/day), required for this model has yet to be well characterized. Ano...
