Glycemic status over the last 2 weeks is best reflected by:

A
HbA1C
B
Fructosamine assay
C
Anhydroglucitol assay
D
All of the above
High-Yield Explanation
The fructosamine assay (measuring glycated albumin) reflects the glycemic status over the prior 2 weeks. Alternative assays of glycemic control (including the 1,5 anhydroglucitol assay) should not be routinely used since studies demonstrating that it accurately predicts the complications of DM are lacking.
