Monitoring and managing blood sugar levels is crucial for individuals with diabetes and prediabetes. The average blood glucose level is an essential parameter to evaluate how well an individual's blood glucose levels are controlled over a longer duration, generally over a few months. It gives healthcare professionals valuable insight into the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications and medical treatments.
There are different ways to determine average blood glucose. The most common method is the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose levels over a period of approximately 2 to 3 months. The test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells. The higher the average blood glucose levels during this period, the more glucose will be attached to hemoglobin, resulting in a higher HbA1c value.
Another method to estimate average blood glucose is the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. These devices provide real-time data on blood sugar levels, allowing individuals to track fluctuations throughout the day. By analyzing the data collected over a specific period, the average blood glucose levels can be calculated.
