We have reported on the usefulness of diabetes management methods using glycated albumin (GA) levels, which reflect average blood glucose levels over the preceding few weeks.
However, evidence regarding diabetic complications has primarily been reported using HbA1c levels, necessitating clarification of the relationship between HbA1c and GA levels. 
In recent years, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has enabled detailed assessment of blood glucose fluctuations over a specific period. 
Therefore, we decided to use CGM to measure average blood glucose levels and conduct a detailed analysis of the correlation between HbA1c levels and GA levels in blood and saliva.
