Abstract
A method, reagent and test kit for determining glycosylated hemoglobin in blood samples which involves liberating hemoglobins from red blood cells by chemical or physical means and reacting non-glycosylated hemoglobin with an allosteric site binding substance which reacts with the allosteric binding site of non-glycosylated hemoglobin and thereby alters the distribution between allosteric forms of the hemoglobins and measuring the change. This method is useful in monitoring glucose metabolism for detecting and controlling diabetes.
