I-OmegaQuant (Sioux Falls, SD) imemezela ukuhlolwa kwe-HbA1c ngekhithi yokuqoqa isampula yasekhaya. Lokhu kuhlolwa kuvumela abantu ukukala inani likashukela egazini (i-glucose) egazini. Lapho i-glucose inqwabelana egazini, ibopha iphrotheni ebizwa ngokuthi i-hemoglobin. Ngakho-ke, ukuhlola amazinga e-hemoglobin A1c kuyindlela ethembekile yokunquma ikhono lomzimba lokugaya i-glucose. Ngokungafani nokuhlolwa kukashukela egazini okuzila ukudla, ukuhlolwa kwe-HbA1c kubamba isimo soshukela egazini somuntu esikhathini sezinyanga ezintathu.
Izinga elifanele le-HbA1c lingu-4.5-5.7%, ngakho imiphumela ephakathi kuka-5.7-6.2% ikhombisa ukuthuthukiswa kwesifo sikashukela sangaphambi kwesikhathi kanti ephakeme kunaleyo engu-6.2% ikhombisa isifo sikashukela. Imiphumela yokuhlolwa kufanele ixoxwe nomhlinzeki wezempilo. Ukuhlolwa kuqukethe induku yomunwe elula kanye namaconsi ambalwa egazi.
“Ukuhlolwa kwe-HbA1c kufana nokuhlolwa kwe-Omega-3 index ngoba kubamba isimo somuntu isikhathi esithile, kulokhu izinyanga ezintathu noma ngaphezulu. Lokhu kunganikeza isithombe esinembile sokudla komuntu futhi kungase kubonise ukuthi kudingeka izinguquko ekudleni noma endleleni yokuphila uma amazinga kashukela egazini lakhe engekho ezingeni elifanele,” kusho uKelly Patterson, MD, R&D, LDN, CSSD, OmegaQuant Clinical Nutrition Educator, esitatimendeni sabezindaba. “Lokhu kuhlolwa kuzosiza ngempela abantu ukulinganisa, ukuguqula nokuqapha isimo sabo sikashukela egazini.”
