Abstract
Glycosylated haemoglobin is the parameter used for assessing metabolic control. We have reviewed the Consensus for result harmonisation and the recent acceptance of this determination for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. We have explained all useful parameters for the study of diabetic dyslipidaemia, although LDL cholesterol is the accepted parameter for diagnosis and follow-up. Albumin excretion in urine is used in order to assess diabetic nephropathy and serum creatinine is used in order to assess glomerular filtration. As thyroid dysfunction is common in diabetic patients, TSH determination is recommended.
