ALB and diabetes mellitus: However, calculated HbA1c, determined through specific formula provides an alternativeapproach that may be more accessible and cost-effective in resource-limited settings [2].Additionally, glycated albumin (GA) is another marker reflecting short-term glycemic status [3].Therefore, it is of interest to compare calculated HbA1c with directly measured HbA1c and explore the correlation between calculatedHbA1c and various glycemic control parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
