TLDR
It is found that Hb A1c contains neutral sugars which are only partially hydrolyzed from the N-termini of β chains, and it is proposed that in the red cell, glucose binds to the α-amino position of hemoglobin β-chains (valine) in an aldimine (Schiff base) linkage.

Correlation of Glucose Regulation and Hemoglobin AIc in Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: The periodic monitoring of hemoglobin AIc levels provides a useful way of documenting the degree of control of glucose metabolism in diabetic patients and provides a means whereby the relation of carbohydrate control to the development of sequelae can be assessed.

The glycosylation of hemoglobin: relevance to diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: By providing an integrated measurement of blood glucose, hemoglobin AIc is useful in assessing the degree of diabetic control and is a useful model of nonenzymatic glycosylation of other proteins that may be involved in the long-term complications of the disease.

Nonenzymatic browning in vivo: possible process for aging of long-lived proteins.

TL;DR: Although most proteins in living systems turn over with sufficient rapidity to avoid nonenzymatic browning, some, such as lens crystallins and skin collagen, are exceptionally long-lived and may be vulnerable.

Advanced Glycation End Products and Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: A review will highlight the involvement of AGEs in the development and progression of T2DM and their role in diabetic complications and the role of oxidative stress in hyperglycemia-induced tissue injury.

Abnormal human haemoglobins. Separation and characterization of the alpha and beta chains by chromatography, and the determination of two new variants, hb Chesapeak and hb J (Bangkok).

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the separation of the α and β chains of human haemoglobin by chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose in 8 M -urea has been described.

Hemoglobin components in patients with diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The increase in proportions of glycohemoglobin in diabetes mellitus appears to be another example of increased glycoproteins in this disorder.

Studies of an unusual hemoglobin in patients with diabetes mellitus

TL;DR: Structural studies suggest the possibility that an amino sugar is bound to hemoglobin A1c in diabetic patients.
