What is Fructosamine?
Fructosamine is a biomarker that indicates the average blood sugar level over the past 2 to 3 weeks. It is a complex formed by the reaction of glucose with proteins in the blood.
Why measure/test Fructosamine?
Testing fructosamine is useful for people who want to monitor their diabetes management and for those who want a quicker view of how effective their glucose management has been in recent weeks. It is especially useful for people who have recently adjusted their diabetes medication or for whom standard longer-term tests, such as HbA1c, are not suitable.
What does it indicate?
Fructosamine provides an indication of the average blood sugar level over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. It helps in assessing the effectiveness of diabetes treatments and can demonstrate changes in blood glucose control more quickly than the HbA1c test.
What does a high Fructosamine level mean?
A high level of fructosamine may indicate poor blood glucose control and an increased risk of diabetes complications. It suggests that the average blood sugar level has been higher than desired over the measured period.
What does a low Fructosamine level mean?
A low level of fructosamine may indicate good control of the blood sugar level, but can also indicate a risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), particularly in people with diabetes who use insulin.
