Description

This FOA invites applications for a Central Primary Reference Laboratory (CPRL) that will be responsible for improvement and standardization of HbA1c measurements and C-peptide measurements, important for care of diabetes. The significance of HbA1c standardization program has recently been stressed by an international expert committee calling for improved measurement of HbA1c for the diagnosis of diabetes and the importance of C-peptide measurement is heightened based on increasing evidence that preservation of endogenous insulin production in Type 1 diabetes can provide significant long-term clinical benefits in subjects with recent onset Type 1 Diabetes.
