HbA1c– Most important test for a diabetics to estimate the status of diabetes control over a period of last 3 to 4 months

 

Importance of A1c:

It is a test which estimates binding of glucose to Hemoglobin
The Report is important for the following reasons

  1. It is a litmus test for all diabetics to estimate the burden of high glucose in blood and other proteins in the body. Long term high glucose damages by binding to the proteins of the body and body fluids.

  3. Maintaining a near normal A1c means the chances of complications in Diabetes is less and postponed at least
  4. Persistent elevation means chances of complications are more
  5. The person cannot deceive himself or the doctor
