To schedule an appointment for the blood work please call Linda Scott at 484-7525. Appointments are recommended.
The hemoglobin A1C test is an important blood test used to determine how well your diabetes is being controlled. This test provides an average of your blood sugar control over a six to twelve week period and is used in conjunction with home blood sugar monitoring to make adjustments in your diabetes medications.
Hemoglobin is a substance within the red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. When diabetes is not controlled, sugar builds up in the blood and combines with your hemoglobin becoming “glycated”. Once a cell has become glycated it stays that way. And since each A1C cell has a lifespan of about four months, your A1C sample includes cells that are a few days, a few weeks and a few months old. As a result the A1C test covers a span of about two to three months.
People with diabetes should have this test every three months to determine weather their blood sugars have reached the target levels of control.
As important as the A1C test is, however, it is not a substitute for frequent self monitoring. Only regular blood sugar monitoring checks show you how meals, activities, medications, and stress affects blood sugar at a single moment in time, as well as over the course of a day or week.
In fact, without regular self-testing to provide day to day insights, and A1C result can be misleading. Because it gives a long-term view, a person with frequent highs and lows could have an average A1C that looks quite healthy.
To have this A1C testing done, you can contact Linda Scott at 484-7525 and set up an appointment for the Health Fair on Saturday, March 28 at the Tidioute Firehall from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.
