How does HbA1C work?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The amount of HbA1c formed is directly related to the amount of glucose in your blood. Red blood cells live for an average of 120 days, so HbA1c gives an indication of how much sugar there has been in your blood over the past few months.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a Free Prostatic Specific Antigen (FPSA)- Serum Test or Take a AMYLASE - SPOT URINE Test

I did the HBA1C, OGTT, and TSH tests as recommended by a doctor at Cloudnine. My report shows HBA1C 9.7, average glucose 231.69, fasting sugar 191 high, 1 hour post load 326 high, 2 hours post load 398 high, and TSH 7.325 high. These values are higher than normal. What would be your suggestion regarding diet or medicines?
