Glucose, which comes from carbohydrates, is the body’s primary source of energy. Blood glucose increases significantly after each meal, the pancreas releases insulin, thereby increasing the ability of glucose to enter the cell, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

Blood glucose measurement:

Diabetics should avoid the complications of diabetes caused by excessive blood sugar by regular blood sugar control.

Many new cases of diabetes mellitus are diagnosed with a simple check-up test before the clinical symptoms occurs in the patient.

Blood HbA1c measurement:

This test measures the average blood glucose level in the last two months, while fasting blood glucose shows the current blood sugar. Thus, measuring HbA1c enables more precise monitoring of blood sugar levels over a longer period. HbA1c is actually formed by the permanent binding of hemoglobin A and blood glucose.

The higher the level of HbA1c in the blood, the more likely it is to develop and spread complications of diabetes, such as vision and kidney damage, the risk of heart attack and stroke.

HbA1c levels of more than 8% means that diabetes is not properly controlled. HbA1c is used not only for diabetes control but also as a test to diagnosis of diabetes.

Kidney health testing is also recommended once a year for diabetic patients.

Patient conditions for testing:

An 8-hour fast is required for fasting blood glucose testing. The HbA1c test does not require any special conditions and can be performed at any time of the day.
