We aimed to assess the performance of glycated albumin (GA) and fructosamine in comparison to HbA\n 1c<\/jats:sub>\n for determining glycaemic control in Africans living with type 2 diabetes.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n We compared the relationship between fructosamine, GA, and HbA\n 1c<\/jats:sub>\n with mean continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) glucose and assessed the impact of sickle cell trait (SCT), anaemia and renal impairment on the relationship between each measure and CGM glucose.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The overall association of HbA\n 1c<\/jats:sub>\n , GA and fructosamine with CGM glucose was similar (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.88 [95%CI: 0.84, 0.91], 0.84 [0.79, 0.88] and 0.84 [0.79, 0.88]), respectively.
