HbA1c vs Fasting Sugar: Which Tells the True Story?

Fasting sugar depends on last night's dinner; HbA1c (HPLC) reflects 90 days of control and predicts complication risk.

When HbA1c matters more

• Diagnosis of diabetes (≥6.5%) — ADA criteria
• Monitoring on treatment — target generally <7% but individualised
• Planning pregnancy with diabetes

Fasting sugar still matters for daily dose titration and detecting hypoglycemia. Fasting + HbA1c together give the clearest picture. Our Diabetes Care 360 does exactly that, with microalbumin and lipid included.
