≥6.5 Diabetes
Comments:-
A 3 to 6 monthly monitoring is recommended in diabetics. People with diabetes should get the test done more often if their
blood sugar stays too high or if their healthcare provider makes any change in the treatment plan. HbA1c concentration
represent the integrated values for blood glucose over the preceding 8-12 weeks and is not affected by daily glucose
fluctuation, exercise & recent food intake.
Please note, Glycemic goal should be individualized based on duration of diabetes, age/life expectancy, comorbid conditions,
known CVD or advanced microvascular complications, hypoglycemia unawareness, and individual patient considerations.
Factors that interfere with HbA1c Measurement: Hemoglobin variants, elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and chemically
modified derivatives of hemoglobin (e.g. carbamylated Hb in patients with renal failure) can affect the accuracy of HbA1c
measurements.
Factors that affect interpretation of HbA1c Measurement: Any condition that shortens erythrocyte survival or decrease
mean erythrocyte age (e. g., recovery from acute blood loss, hemolytic anemia, HbSS, HbCC, and HbSC) will falsely lower
HbA1c test results regardless of the assay method used. Iron deficiency anemia is associated with higher HbA1c.
Note: Presence of Hemoglobin variants and/or conditions that affect red cell turnover must be considered, particularly when
the HbA1c result does not correlate with the patient's blood glucose levels.
