Diabetes and Chronic Liver Disease: Etiology and Pitfalls in Monitoring
Because A1C is currently being used as both a diagnostic test and a parameter of good practice in monitoring glucose control in diabetic patients, it is easy to overlook the fact that its relationship with blood glucose has been established in patients without anemia, chronic kidney or liver disease, or therapies that can interfere with results (Clinical Diabetes)

The promising results achieved during preclinical development of liraglutide have been reinforced during Phase 1 and 2 clinical testing.
