Notice
Výsledok laboratórneho vyšetrenia sa musí vždy vyhodnocovať v kontexte anamnézy, klinického stavu a výsledkov ďalších laboratórnych a iných vyšetrení. Odchýlky od normálnych hodnôt samy o sebe nestačia na stanovenie diagnózy a hodnoty v normálnom rozmedzí nemusia vždy znamenať, že ochorenie nie je prítomné. Výsledky je vhodné konzultovať s lekárom.

What interests you about the HbA1C test?
What affects glycated hemoglobin?
Glycated hemoglobin is an indicator of long-term diabetes compensation and provides information on the average value of blood glucose over the last two to three months. If its value differs significantly from the glucose values recorded by the glucometer, it may be unrecognized hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
What does increased hemoglobin in the blood mean?
An increased value of hemoglobin in the blood can be a sign of more severe dehydration. It is also associated with chronic hypoxia (e.g. with lung diseases), rarely with staying at high altitudes. It can also be polycythemia, when the body produces too many red blood cells. It mainly depends on the ratio of Hb and Ery (normo, monocytic).
Why do my blood sugar levels rise in the morning?
Increased morning glycemia can have several causes: either you have "high sugar" all night, which is caused by the wrong composition of dinner, or morning hyperglycemia is a reaction to nighttime hypoglycemia (insufficient dinner), or it is a so-called dawn phenomenon related to body biorhythms.
Which fruit lowers blood sugar?
Most fruits have a medium to low glycemic index and are suitable for consumption even with diabetes. Sugar is mainly reduced by stone fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, currants, then pears, apples, cherries, peaches, plums or citrus fruits (13).
How to reduce HbA1c?
Glycated hemoglobin can reduce a conscientiously prepared diet plan. Intermittent fasting (14) or the inclusion of foods such as whole grain products, fruits, vegetables and proteins have a positive effect on HbA1c values. You should avoid industrially processed and sugary foods.
