HbA1c than white children and that the underlying cause of this persistent racial disparity in HbA1c is unclear,» notes Dr. Chalew.
As seen in Table II, the adolescent
children of non-
White mothers had significantly higher
HbA1c and greater externalizing problems
than adolescents of
White mothers.
