There are several ways to measure glycated hemoglobin, of which HbA1c (or simply A1c) is a standard single test. [5] HbA1c is measured primarily to determine the three-month average blood sugar level and is used as a standard diagnostic test for evaluating the risk of complications of diabetes and as an assessment of glycemic control .
Measurement of HbA1c—the predominant form of glycated hemoglobin—enables medium-term blood sugar control to be monitored in diabetes. Some glycation products are implicated in many age-related chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (the endothelium, fibrinogen, and collagen are damaged) and Alzheimer's disease (amyloid proteins ...
Hemoglobin A (HbA) is the most common adult form of hemoglobin and exists as a tetramer containing two alpha subunits and two beta subunits (α2β2). [3] Each subunit contains a heme group that diatomic oxygen (O 2) molecules can bind to. [5]
“Practice addition by subtraction — meaning, your cells will benefit from what it doesn’t have to fight against [such as] toxins, excess nutrients,” she said. “Add more of what will ...

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] It involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells , hemoglobin , blood proteins , bone marrow ...
The table for conversion of HbA1c result to Average Blood Sugar in mg/dL,shows that for HbA1c of 6 & 7 the Average Blood Sugar is 120 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL respectively. However, the refernce [1] cited in the article has the coversion as 135 mg/dL& 170 mg/dL for Average Blood Sugar. Which one is accurate? --Ugaap 15:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
