Diabetes Management Test


Instead of taking a Diabetes Management Test to measure your levels at one moment in time, the HbA1c Diabetes Management Test from HealthCheckUSA evaluates your average blood glucose control for the past few months. This Diabetes Management Test measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that becomes linked to glucose (called glycosylation). A higher percent means there is more glucose in your blood, which is not desirable for blood sugar control.

Your HbA1c is normal if it is 5% or less. A value of 7% or more means your diabetes is poorly controlled. Abnormally high values mean you are at increased the risk of developing complications from diabetes, such as eye and/or kidney disease, nerve damage, heart disease and stroke. If the results of your Diabetes Management Test are abnormal, bring them to your doctor, who may require further testing. A Diabetes Management Test is essential for those with diabetes, as glucose levels can not be determined by symptoms alone.

A Diabetes Management Test measures the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Glucose, which comes from carbohydrates, is the main energy source used by the body. Blood glucose levels typically slightly increase after eating. This causes your pancreas to release insulin, which prevents glucose levels from getting too high. The results of a Diabetes Management Test will help you modify how you manage your diabetes. Getting a regular Diabetes Management Test can reduce the chances for long-term diabetes complications.
