HbA1c: Key to Better Diabetes Management | Understanding Glycated Hemoglobin

In this informative video, we delve into the essential world of HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) and its crucial role in managing diabetes effectively. HbA1c is a key test used to assess average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months, providing critical insights into a patient's diabetes management.

Join us as we explore the correlation between mean glucose and HbA1c, standardization efforts for global consistency, and how racial/ethnic differences impact A1c values. We'll also discuss the significance of HbA1c in comparison to other glucose measurements and the complementary role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in diabetes care.

Learn about the potential benefits of measuring fructosamine and glycated albumin as alternatives, and the importance of minimizing glycemic variability. Understanding HbA1c and its relationship with glucose management will empower both patients and healthcare professionals to make informed decisions for better diabetes outcomes.
