This coupling displaces the imine’s nitrogen in the form of ammonia, and forges a new C–N bond to produce a secondary or tertiary amine. The problem is that route generally produces a mess of ...

A single attack on an imine can lead to unsymmetrical products, while a double attack on the oxime produces symmetrical ones (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.7b05279).

Finally. Rearrangement of the glucose-hemoglobin imine produces a more stable amine, which can be measured. I won't go into the details of how/why this works. And you won't be missing anything either.
