smart HbA1c Test
Summary and Explanation of the Test
Throughout the circulatory life of the red cell, Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is formed continuously by adduction of glucose to the N-terminal of the haemoglobin beta chain. This process which is non enzymatic reflects the average exposure of haemoglobin to glucose over an extended period. Studies have shown that HbA1c on diabetic subjects was 2-3 fold over levels found in normal individuals.
