dc.description.abstract	The determination of glycosylated serum proteins (Fructosamine) has become an accepted method for assessing the metabolic situation in diabetic patients. As there are no studies reported on serum fructosamine levels for Sri Lankan adults, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 326 non diabetic, 160 impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 160 diabetic subjects to monitor their serum fructosamine levels. Results revealed that the serum fructosamine values of normal and IGT subjects were in the range of 192 to 260 umol/L and 264 to 290 umol/L respectively. The diabetic subjects had value more than 297 umol/L. No significant difference was observed between males and females and between age groups. Overall the fructosamine values obtained by the present study could be used as an index for assessing the glycaemic status of an individual and to monitor the metabolic control of diabetic patients over a moderately shorter period of 2-3 weeks.	en_US
