Fructosamine is a marker used to assess blood sugar control over the past 2-3 weeks, making it a useful alternative to HbA1c for monitoring diabetes. This test is particularly beneficial for people with conditions that affect red blood cell lifespan, such as anaemia, or those who need a more short-term view of glucose management.
Description provided by Medichecks.
Tracking how your body is handling blood sugar over time with HbA1c is one of the most important tests you can do to understand your metabolic health.
G6PD is an important enzyme that helps protect red blood cells from damage. A deficiency in G6PD can lead to episodes of red blood cell breakdown (haemolysis), which may cause anaemia, jaundice, and fatigue, particularly after exposure to certain medications, infections, or foods.
Monitoring your HbA1c levels is essential for managing and understanding your long-term blood glucose control. An HbA1c test measures the percentage of sugar attached to your hemoglobin, providing a clear picture of your average blood glucose over the past two to three months.
