Inhoudsopgave
Welke suikerwaarden zijn normaal?
Bij gezonde mensen weet het lichaam zelf de juiste normaalwaarden voor glucose aan te houden. Bij een normale bloedsuiker bevinden de waarden zich tussen 4 en 8 mmol/l in een niet-nuchtere toestand (dit betekent dat je gegeten en/of gedronken hebt) (bron: Diabetesfonds).
Welke momenten bloedsuiker meten?
Een goede bloedsuiker voor ’s ochtends als u nog niet gegeten of gedronken heeft is: tussen 4,5 en 8. Dit heet de nuchtere bloedsuiker. Na het eten gaat uw bloedsuiker omhoog. Een goede bloedsuiker voor 2 uur na het eten is: lager dan 9.
Is an A1C of 8 9 good or bad?
An A1c of 8.9 falls into the diabetic range between 6.5 and 10.0. Reducing an A1c of 8.9 will take a combination of medication and lifestyle modifications. Seek medical advice to gain control of your blood sugar and avoid further damage to critical organs. Keep an eye on your blood sugar by testing at home.
What does 8% A1c mean on a blood sugar monitor?
The eAG translates the A1C into what our average glucose would read on our monitor if we checked blood sugar all day, every day, for the previous 2-3 months. So, and 8% A1C is an estimated blood glucose average of 183mg/dl. Milligrams per deciliter (Mg/dl) is the unit of measurement used in our blood sugar monitor.
What is A1C and why is it important?
A1C is an important tool for managing diabetes, but it doesn’t replace regular blood sugar testing at home. Blood sugar goes up and down throughout the day and night, which isn’t captured by your A1C. Two people can have the same A1C, one with steady blood sugar levels and the other with high and low swings.
How long does an A1C last?
These cells last for about three months, so, the A1c is thought of as a measure of blood sugars over the prior three months. Generally, clinical guidelines have recommended an A1c goal of less than 7% for most people (not necessarily including the elderly or very ill), with a lower goal — closer to normal, or under 6.5% — for younger people.
