Disclosed are cellular hemoglobin Alc (Hb Alc ) normal and abnormal (high) controls for use in detecting Hb Alc levels. The present invention also relates to methods for generating cellular Hb Alc controls using red blood cells and methods for using the cellular controls. The present invention encompasses several methods for the preparation of Hb Alc cellular controls including: (1) a boronate method where the glycation occurs non-specifically; (2) a stabilized diabetic blood method where the glycation occurs specifically on Hb Alc, and (3) the glycation of normal blood method that is achieved by controlling conditions such that glycation occurs predominantly on Hb Alc. These methods produce cellular Hb Alc controls with desirable stability and that can be detected on a variety of instruments.
