As red blood cells age their hemoglobin is progressively, glycosylated. This invention relates to analyzing the history of blood sugar metabolism over a period of several months by taking a blood sample, separating the cells into age-ordered cohorts determining glycohemoglobin levels in the cells of each cohort and, correlating glycohemoglobin levels with red blood cell age while, correcting for the reversibility of the Amadori rearrangement.
