Glycosylation of haemoglobin was evaluated in 30 normal adult Nigerians and 60 diabetic adult Nigerians who were at various stages of blood glucose control, by measuring ketoamine-linked hexoses in haemoglobin. These hexoses were converted by digestion with 1 M oxalic acid for 4.5 h at 100 degrees C to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which was measured by reaction with 2 thiobarbituric acid. Glycosylation of haemoglobin was expressed as micromoles (mumol) of fructose per 5% haemoglobin. A mean fructose concentration of 91.0 mumol/1 (s.d. +/- 9.3) was obtained for normal subjects; that for diabetic adult Nigerians was 175.3 mumol/l (s.d. +/- 26.4). There was significant correlation between fasting blood glucose levels and glycosylated haemoglobins in both normal adults (r = 0.77, P less than 0.001) and diabetic adults (r = 0.90, P less than 0.001). The colorimetric method was found to be precise and accurate with an interassay variability of 1.44% and an intra-assay variability of 0.98%.
