Abstract
Our objective was to explore the longitudinal trajectory of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in well-characterized youth (n = 84) with normal weight and obesity during puberty. HbA1c rose from early puberty to Tanner stage 5, even in healthy, normal weight youth, revealing important implications for defining normal glycemia and prediabetes in adolescents.
