I-HbA1c yilokho okwaziwa ngokuthi i-glycated hemoglobin. Lokhu kuyinto eyenziwa uma i-glucose (ushukela) emzimbeni wakho inamathela kumaseli akho abomvu egazi. Umzimba wakho awukwazi ukusebenzisa ushukela kahle, ngakho-ke okuningi kwayo kunamathela kumaseli akho egazi futhi kuyanda egazini lakho. Amaseli abomvu egazi asebenza cishe izinyanga ezi-2-3, yingakho ukufundwa kuthathwa njalo ngekota.

Ushukela omningi egazini ulimaza imithambo yegazi yakho. Lo monakalo ungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu ezingxenyeni zomzimba wakho njengamehlo nezinyawo zakho.

Ukuhlolwa kwe-HbA1c

Ungakwazihlola la mazinga kashukela egazini ajwayelekilewena ngokwakho, kodwa kuzodingeka uthenge ikhithi, kanti uchwepheshe wakho wezempilo uzokwenza mahhala. Kuhlukile ekuhlolweni kokuhlatshwa ngomunwe, okuyisithombe esincane samazinga kashukela egazini lakho ngesikhathi esithile, ngosuku oluthile.

Uthola izinga lakho le-HbA1c ngokuhlolwa kwegazi ngudokotela noma umhlengikazi. Ithimba lakho lezokunakekelwa kwempilo lizokuhlelela lokhu, kodwa xhumana nodokotela wakho uma ungakaze ube nalo izinyanga ezimbalwa.

Iningi labantu lizohlolwa njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha. Kodwa ungase ukudinge kaningi umaukuhlela umntwana, ukwelashwa kwakho kushintshe muva nje, noma unezinkinga zokulawula amazinga kashukela egazini lakho.

Futhi abanye abantu ngeke badinge ukuhlolwa kaningi, ngokuvamile kamuvangesikhathi sokukhulelwaNoma udinga ukuhlolwa okuhlukile ngokuphelele, njengakwezinye izinhlobo ze-anemia. Ukuhlolwa kwe-fructosamine kungasetshenziswa esikhundleni salokho, kodwa akuvamile kakhulu.

Ukuhlolwa kwe-HbA1c kusetshenziselwa futhi ukuxilonga isifo sikashukela, kanye nokuqapha amazinga akho uma usengozini yokuthola isifo sikashukela (unayoisifo sikashukela sangaphambi kwesikhathi).

Ukuhlolwa ngezinye izikhathi kubizwa ngokuthi i-hemoglobin A1c noma i-A1c nje.
