HbA1c levels correlate directly with red blood cell stiffness, providing a new way to estimate glycemic control.
A microfluidic sensor recorded the velocities of RBCs from over 500 personal blood samples in just 5 minutes.
Higher HbA1c levels resulted in significantly lower RBC velocities, linking stiffness and diabetes management effectively.
The method can reduce inaccuracies caused by hemoglobin variants, a significant advantage over traditional tests.
