Abstract

According to studies, HbA1C fluctuation is a significant risk factor for diabetic complications in people with type 2 diabetes. HbA1c has established its mark when it comes to detecting sugar control in Type 2 diabetics. The present study was carried out to establish the importance of regularly monitoring HbA1c levels in Type 2 diabetic patients along with traditional Fasting blood sugar (FBS) and 2 hours Post prandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels. There is an impact of day to day variation in diet on fasting and postprandial blood glucose. Hence, it becomes necessary to monitor their HbA1c levels to get an idea of their blood glucose control over the period of 3 months. A further study of post glucose blood sugar levels may provide an unbiased sugar levels as compared to traditional post prandial sugar levels to avoid the bias in the study.
