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.
