What is Fructosamine?

The Fructosamine test measures the average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 weeks. It's useful for monitoring diabetes management and how well treatment plans are working. This test provides a snapshot of your blood sugar control over a shorter period than HbA1c.

Why is this test important?

This test is clinically important for individuals with diabetes, especially those who need frequent monitoring or have conditions that affect HbA1c results, such as certain anemias. It helps healthcare providers adjust treatment strategies and assess the effectiveness of lifestyle changes in managing blood sugar.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. You do not need to fast before this blood test.
