Type 1 Diabetes: Greater Glucose Variability Observed Prior To Puberty
The HbA1c blood test has been carried out continuously for the last many years to be used to assess long-term blood glucose control in people with diabetes. This test gives a picture of blood glucose levels over the last 3 to 4 months, expressing how high or low someone’s average glucose levels are but if you are not aware then let me tell you that the HbA1c doesn’t tell you anything about glucose variability in regards to the blood glucose control. Impact Of Glucose Variability Extremely inconstant blood glucose levels are deemed unhealthy for several reasons, including a higher risk for both hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). With time the stress generated due to such situations put on the body can produce lasting damage, in extension to being potentially vulnerable at the moment. So, it’s always advised to keep swings in the blood glucose levels to a minimum or have a check on its levels. The Study Conducted On Glucose Variab...
