Answer: C
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is used in the screening of diabetes.
Glucose binds slowly and irreversibly to haemoglobin in red cells. Because red cells live about 120 days, the HbA1c percentage reflects average blood glucose over the previous two to three months. A value of 6.5 per cent or more is a diagnostic criterion for diabetes, and the test is used to monitor control.
Iron deficiency anaemia is screened with haemoglobin and serum ferritin, and sickle cell anaemia with a sickling test or haemoglobin electrophoresis. CVD risk is assessed with lipid profiles and blood pressure, not with HbA1c alone.
