HbA1c is used to estimate average glucose. Previous studies showed linear relationship between average glucose and HbA1c. We made a new theoretical relationship using recently proposed Gamma-like function model of erythrocyte lifespan. We showed the relationship between average glucose and HbA1c; we approximated it into a simple hyperbolic function: HbA1c = M(RBC)k(g)AG/(1 + (2/3)M(RBC)k(g)AG), whose inverse function is easily obtained. Apparent linear relationship is an approximation of the curved relationship. Hyperbolic function would provide a more accurate approximation than a linear equation. Physicians should keep in mind the curved relationship and be aware that extremely high HbA1c indicates acceleratingly high glucose level. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
