HbA1C Diabetes Control :-
‘What is your HbA1C?’ This test should be done when you go. The reason for this is also the same. This is the best test that shows how much control you have over diabetes. The report of this test is important for the doctor to determine the correct diagnosis of the patient’s disease and the direction of treatment.
What exactly is HbA1C test?
Glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1C is a type of blood test. It can be done at any time of the day. A normal person has an HbA1C level of 4 to 5.7 percent. Individuals who have the same level between 5.7 to 6.4 percent are more likely to develop diabetes. If you have or have diabetes, this level shows that you have good control of your diabetes. If the HbA1C level is more than 6.5 percent, you have diabetes and your blood sugar is not under control, which increases the risk of developing diabetes. This test shows the average blood sugar control over the last two to three months. Along with regular blood sugar testing, this test every three to six months gives the doctor a better idea of diabetes control and can make necessary changes in the medication regimen.
How is this test different from other blood tests?
HbA1C testing can fill in the gaps in blood sugar tests used to diagnose diabetes. For example, some diabetics are not disciplined in their daily life with diet, exercise, and medication. (Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.) Such individuals have good blood sugar test results, but it is deceptive. Because they only have good blood sugar control for a few days, and these blood tests are done on those exact days. On the other hand, a diabetic person who has always been disciplined may become exceptionally undisciplined (in terms of diabetes exercise, diet and medication) at some point. If the blood test is to be done on the same day, the patient’s blood sugar is elevated. In such a case, the HbA1C test gives a good report and A diabetic can stay away from future problems caused by unnecessarily increasing the amount of medication. Therefore, HbA1C test every three to six months is useful for a diabetic.
Hba1c चे प्रमाण :-
Every diabetic should consult their doctor/diabetologist to determine their personal target. For example, HbA1C levels should be 6 percent for pregnant women, 6-6.5 percent for young diabetics, 6.5 to 7 percent for middle-aged people, 7-8 percent for older people (severe heart disease, severe kidney disease). , paralysis, cancer that has spread throughout the body, etc.) should be between 7.5 and 8 percent.
Checking HbA1C every three to six months and making a report file will not achieve your goal. If your HbA1C is high, it is important to talk to your doctor and find out the reasons behind it. Blood sugar is moderate or not too high but HbA1C is 8.5%. Have you stopped taking medication for a few days in the last two months? (You may have different reasons like rain, lockdown, weddings of close relatives after each other.) Are you one of those who eat modestly in the morning and eat feverishly at night? Should be corrected. If you want to stay away from diabetic diseases, live a good quality and ultimately independent life, you must continuously achieve your HbA1C target.
So if the doctor advises you to do HbA1C test, don’t waste it. It is for your benefit. This can help you overcome diabetes and diabetic diseases in time.
