Several previous studies investigated the relationship between plasma glucose and HbA1c. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HbA(1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) levels in type 1 diabetic subjects 86 Type 1 diabetic patients admitted to our department were included. FPG, PPG and HbA1c values were recorded. Pearson’s correlation was used between FPG, PPG and HbA1c.The mean age was 26.8±8.4 years, and mean duration of diabetes was 6.9±4.2 years. The means of FPG, PPG, and HbA1c were 230±109 mg/dl, 299±123 mg/dl ve 9,8±2,8%, respectively. A HbA1c level < 7.0% was obtained in 13 (15.1%) patients. Pearson's correlation coefficient for HbA1c and FPG, and PPG 0.26 (p<0,05), and 0.46 (P<0.01), respectively. Correlation was higher in males.The correlation coefficient of patients with type 1 diabetes for HbA1c and PPG is lower than those of HbA1c and FPG. Therefore, we suggest that using PPG in diabetes management.
