Diabetes Tests -- How Does Blood Sugar and HbA1c Testing Work?

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:23:36 GMT

	Diabetes Tests -- How Does Blood Sugar and HbA1c Testing Work? www.streamingwell.com How well are you managing your diabetes? Discover the common diabetes tests used at clinics to assess your diabetic control. In this video, Dr. Paul Stillman explains that there are many different tests used by diabetic clinics to see how well a patient is managing their diabetes. These tests include a blood sugar test, measuring the amount of sugar present in a person's blood and the HbA1c test which measures haemoglobin levels and gives an indication of the patient's blood-glucose levels for the past 3 months. Dr. Stillman also discusses the advantages of the HbA1c test, which rather than taking a snapshot of how someone is managing their diabetes, as with the blood sugar test, provides a much better assessment of whether a patient has their diabetes under control.

Blood Glucose Monitor testing for Diabetes - Bedtime test

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 00:52:08 GMT

	Blood Glucose Monitor testing for Diabetes - Bedtime test Blood Glucose Monitor testing for Diabetes - Test 2 Same test as before, time is now 12.40 am bedtime. So, 6 hours 40 minutes between tests. I had a small pizza and a mug of Milk about 1 hour and 40 minutes ago for a late dinner. I am feeling a bit sleepy now (normal at this time) though not as sleepy as I am usually when my head drops on the laptop, Lol, anyway the pancreas should release insulin to take up the Glucose from the food at this point and move it into cells, so worth a test to compare with earlier before my meal. My first earlier test at 6.03 pm was 3.9 mmol / L and normal. The test now at 12.40 am after midnight was 6.4 mmol / L and that is above the average level. Below is what I got from a Blood Sugar chart: Blood Sugar Chart You have indicated that your Random Blood Glucose Level is 6.4 mmol / L Your fasting level is above normal and this is sometimes seen in pre-diabetes. Cut down your weight, undertake exercises and repeat the test after 3 months. What would it have been had I been very tired like I normally am?.	From: JasonDolan Views: 1018 2 ratings
