Practice Question
Which label value is used to evaluate the effectiveness of blood glucose management in patients with diabetes?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Hemoglobin A1C
Rationale:
🔷 Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) reflects average blood glucose levels over 2 to 3 months, giving a long-term picture of diabetes management.
🔷 It measures the percentage of hemoglobin bound to glucose (glycated hemoglobin), which increases with poor blood sugar control.
🔷 This test is unaffected by short-term glucose fluctuations, unlike fasting or random glucose tests.
🔷 A target HbA1C value of below 7% indicates effective glycemic control for most diabetic clients.
