Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range.
The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.

What hormone causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Glucose in urine is a worrying sign, as it is a key symptom of diabetes. A lack of the hormone insulin would be responsible.
What would happen if you placed an artificial cell with 5M glucose in a beaker with pure water?
A solution which has a high concentration of a solute (example - glucose) will have a low water concentration. But when you look at pure water it has a high water concentration. So if a cell contains a high concentration of glucose and was placed in a pure water solution, water would simply move down its concentration gradient (going from high to low) which eventually causes the cell to swell. I hope this helped :D
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample
The movement of glucose into a cell against a concentration gradient is most likely to be accomplished by what?
as soon as glucose is entered into the cell, it gets phosphorylated. so it becomes glucose-6-phosphate and there is still more concentration of glucose outside the cell. because concentration gradients for both glucose and glucose-6-phosphate are separate, so more and more glucose will be taken up by the cells, and is phosphorylated. so glucose gradient remains unchanged.
What is glycosylation?
Glycosylation is the enzymatic process that links saccharides to produce glycans, attached to proteins, lipids, or other organic molecules.
What causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
How do you find the glucose concentration of a solution?
Glucose concentration strips will work.
Why does glycosylation of hemoglobin take place?
glycosylation
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
Why the concentration of glucose in the blood rises after a meal?
After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.

Where does glycosylation of proteins occur?
Some glycosylation happens on the rER; most on the Golgi apparatus.
