Hey, sugar friends!Did you know?Glycosylated hemoglobin is actually the product of the combination of hemoglobin and sugars in red blood cells. The amount of glycosylated hemoglobin is closely related to the level of blood sugar, and it is much more stable than blood sugar, so it can reflect the average blood sugar level in the two months before blood drawIn this way, glycosylated hemoglobin is a good indicator of how well we control our blood sugar.
For type 1 sugar patients who are not very stable, blood sugar fluctuations may be large, and a blood glucose test may not be able to fully reflect the true situation of blood sugar control, and the value of glycosylated hemoglobin measurement is even greater.
Nowadays, most hospitals do not measure the total amount of glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1, but HbA1C. This level of HbA1C is about 85% of HbA1. Most doctors recommend that young sugar lovers have a HbA1C control of 40%~6.5%, and the HbA1C of older sugar friends is controlled at 40%~7.0% is fine.
If your glycosylated hemoglobin is too high, your blood sugar is not well controlledIf it's too low, be careful of hypoglycemia. If glycosylated hemoglobin exceeds 8%, it means that the blood sugar control in the first 6 to 8 weeks is not very satisfactory, and the diabetes needs to be improved**;;If it exceeds 11%, then you will have to adjust the medication quickly!
Therefore, sugar friends, check glycosylated hemoglobin regularly to better understand your blood sugar control, so that you can better manage your health!
