I dont think smoking bothers your blood sugar but we know that it binds the hemoglobin and can cause heart disease.
Yes. All blood types have hemoglobin. The ABO blood groups only refer to a sugar on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type O do not have this sugar.
Hemoglobin A1C is a blood test that is used to track the blood sugar of a diabetic over the past 3 months. The life of a red blood cell is approximately 3 months, and this test gives an average of blood sugar levels over that time.
false the answer is insulin
The hemoglobin A1c, or glycohemoglobin, is a measure of how much sugar is attached to the hemoglobin protein in the blood. Sine hemoglobin is removed from the blood along with the red cell in which it is resides measuring the a1c can give an estimate of ow high the sugar has been averaging over the life of the red cell, which is usually about 120 days (4 months). The most recent time frame has a larger effect on it than more distant times so it is often, somewhat inaccurately, said to give a 3 month average. It can be affected by anemia, blood loss, blood transfusions and abnormal hemoglobins.
A1c is an abbreviation of another abbreviation, HbA1c, or hemoglobin A1c. It's a blood test that evaluates how your blood sugar levels have been over the last three months.HbA1c is a common measurement used when assessing diabetes. It stands for Hemoglobin A1-c. The A1c is simply a specific subtype of hemoglobin A. Hemoglobin is a molecule located in your red blood cells that is responsible for holding oxygen. HbA1c is formed when glucose (a blood sugar) binds to the hemoglobin. Ordinarily, it occurs slowly. Doctors check HbA1c levels as a way to assess the average blood sugar in a person for the past 2 months. If the HbA1c is above 6.5-7%, then the blood sugar is not adequately being controlled.
It masks the effects of low blood sugar.
That is high, normal readings should not be over 130.
Yes, it lowers the sugar level.
Fetal hemoglobin (Hemoglobin F), Alkali-resistant hemoglobin, HBF (or Hb F), is the major hemoglobin component in the bloodstream of the fetus. After birth, it decreases rapidly until only traces are found in normal.
The stress related to trauma can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.
Yes, pizza effects blood sugar because it contains carbohydrates. They are converted into glucose by your body, which is sugar. This raises your blood sugar quickly.
