Question

What will happen to the percentage of glycated hemoglobin if blood sugar increases?

Answer 1

The percentage of glycated hemoglobin will increase if blood glucose increases.

Explanation:

The hemoglobin A1c test indicates the average percentage of glycated hemoglobin over a period of three months, which is the average lifespan of red blood cells. If blood glucose levels increase, the percentage of glycated hemoglobin also increases. The ramifications of an increase in glycated hemoglobin are complications of diabetes, such as neuropathy, reduced circulation, diabetic retinopathy, and kidney failure.
