I had a one night stand with this guy I picked up at the club. It is important not to exchange any personal info with them so they can't track you down and stalk you later. The molecules are otherwise quite similar. Hooking up with someone for one night of sex with no strings attached and hoping to never see them again. Plants are green because chlorophyll has a magnesium atom at the center. Plants have chlorophyll to do some of what hemoglobin does, and some other things. There are no home fructosamine tests.Ĭrabs and some other invertebrates have blue blood, because their kind of hemoglobin has a copper atom at the center instead of iron. You might ask your doctor about a fructosamine test if A1C doesn’t work well for you for some reason. Fructosamine gives a measure of average glucose over the previous 2–3 weeks, not 12 weeks like A1C.
Fructosamine measures the amount of glucose stuck to the protein albumin.įructosamine is not affected by blood cells dying off or being born, so it’s more accurate than A1C if you have anemia, blood loss, pregnancy, or other conditions affecting your blood. So if you have a lot of new cells, for example after a blood loss, your A1C will be lower.įructosamine levels are good alternatives to A1C. Newer blood cells will be less glycated than older ones, because they haven’t had as much time to be exposed to glucose.However, A1C tests can sometimes mislead because: You can use this calculator to convert your A1C to an estimated average blood glucose number. An A1C of 7.0% means an average blood glucose level of 154 mg/dl, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Yes it is possible for someone to be busy- but no so busy that they cant dinf 30 seconds to make a phone call and say 'hey Im really busy but I will try and call you later when I get a. That is why your A1C level indicates your average glucose over the last few months.Ī1C results are expressed as the percentage of all hemoglobin that is glycated. It sounds like it was a one night stand- just because you have known him for 2 years does not mean it wasnt a one time thing.there is no reason why he didn t call other than the fact that he CHOSE not to. Red blood cells live an average of three to four months. Once hemoglobin is glycated, it stays that way until the red blood cell dies. HgbA1c is a good marker for glucose control, because the more glucose is circulating in the blood, the more hemoglobin will be glycated (covered with sugar). Type A1c is the most common, making up about two-thirds of hemoglobin with glucose attached. Type A1 has subtypes A1a, A1b, A1c, and others. There is also HgBA2 (in addition to other types of hemoglobin), but not much. The “A” in Hemoglobin A (HgbA) stands for “adult.” After a person reaches six months of age, nearly all the hemoglobin is type A.Ībout 98% of HgbA is type 1, or HgBA1.
