The aim of this study was to assess the total saturated (SFAs), monounsaturated (MUFAs) and ...
-
(2011)Background: Metabolic control of diabetic pregnant women is assessed using glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and fasting blood sugar. Another glycated protein, namely fructosamine, can be an indicator of average glucose ...
