Abstract: Diabetes is an epidemic affecting millions of people worldwide. Since the emergence of glycated hemoglobin, it has become the most reliable indicator of glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. A retrospective study was conducted on a sample of 129 diabetic patients from the protocolized diabetes mellitus clinic at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, with the aim of evaluating glycated hemoglobin levels and determining their correlation with fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, as well as establishing fasting and postprandial blood glucose cut-off points to predict HbA1c levels above 7%. The overall HbA1c average was 6.48 ± 2.228%, and a weak correlation was found between fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels. The overall mean fasting glycemia was 8,42 mmol/L (r= 0.494; 95% CI), and the mean postprandial glycemia was 10,53 mmol/L (r= 0.497; 95% CI). It is concluded that postprandial glycemia showed a greater correlation with HbA1c levels.
