| difference between "A1c" and "glycated hemoglobin"?
While going through my time-of-DX hospital records, I noticed "glycated hemoglobin" of 19.0%. The reference range was <I forget the low end> to 7.8%, so it's apparently different than A1c... but I was even more over-the-top on that value.
Web searches tell me "glycated hemoglobin = A1c"... but the paperwork does not corroborate.
This perplexes me. Any thoughts?
