Feline HbA1c
Feline Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a non-enzymatic stable glycosylation product formed byglucose GLU in blood and hemoglobin HGB in red blood cells.Once formed, HbA1c is presentthroughout the life cycle of red blood cells and is proportional to blood glucose concentration.The HbA1c level reflects the average blood sugar level of the dog in the 90 days before the test. It has nothing to do with the blood drawing time, whether the cat is fasting, whether the dog uses insulin or not. It is a good indicator forjudging diabetes and long-term control.
