This test gives the total amount of fructosamine in the blood.
This test helps to monitor blood glucose levels, especially if it is not possible to monitor diabetes with hemoglobin A1c test. In general, a fructosamine test reflects glycemic control over the previous 2 to 3 weeks. High values of fructosamine indicate poor control of diabetes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this test used to screen for diabetes?
No. The fructosamine test is not helpful as a screening test for diabetes. This is because fructosamine levels of people with well-controlled diabetes may overlap with nondiabetic people.
Do I need to fast to have this test?
No. This test is not affected by food that you had during the daytime, so this test can be done during the day at any time.
Does any other condition effect this test results?
Yes. Inform your doctor if you have high levels of vitamin C and if you have hyperthyroidism as this can interfere with the fructosamine test results.
