Fructosamine details
Description
Fructosamine reflects your average blood sugar level over roughly the past 2-3 weeks, based on how much sugar has attached to various proteins in your blood (mainly albumin), which have a shorter lifespan than the red blood cells used for HbA1c. This makes fructosamine a useful shorter-term alternative or supplement to HbA1c, particularly in situations where HbA1c may be unreliable — such as certain blood disorders affecting red blood cell lifespan, pregnancy, or when a more immediate picture of recent glucose control is needed, such as after a recent treatment change.
