The present invention relates to methods and biomarkers for detection, characterization and treatment of conditions associated with methylglyoxal (MG) in biological samples. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for determining diabetic complication onset in a patient through detecting a o-phenylenediamine derivatized MG (2MQ) product as indicative of the presence of MG, impaired fibrinolysis in a patient through detecting a MG modified plasminogen (Pg) product as indicative of impaired fibrinolysis, and the efficacy of metformin (MF) treatment in a patient through detecting IMZ as indicative of a MF/MG product.
