In this informative video where Fiona and Kelly delve into the intricacies of HbA1c, its significance, and what it means for your health. Whether you're managing diabetes or simply looking to understand more about your body's health metrics, this video is packed with essential information.
Kelly explains HbA1c, also known as Hemoglobin A1c, glycated hemoglobin, or glycohemoglobin, is a form of hemoglobin that is chemically linked to a sugar. It is a key indicator used in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. The HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months by determining the percentage of hemoglobin that is glycated.
The hemoglobin A1c test provides a long-term gauge of blood sugar control, unlike regular blood sugar tests that provide a snapshot at a specific time. It is a crucial marker for people with diabetes to understand how well their blood sugar levels are being managed over time.
For someone without diabetes, a normal HbA1c level is below 5.7%. For those managing diabetes, a good HbA1c target is typically below 7%, although individual targets can vary based on personal health goals and a doctor's recommendation.
