HbA1c: The measurement of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is central to diabetes care. This is a measure by which healthcare providers can relate blood glucose control to the risk of diabetic complications.

Targets for HbA1c are as follows: – For people without diabetes, the range is 4-5.9% – For people with diabetes, an HbA1c level of 6.5% is considered good control – For people at risk of hypoglycemia (lower than normal blood sugar), a target of 7.5% to reduce the risk of hypos

Diabetic Complications: Nerve damage, Damage to large blood vessels, Damage to small blood vessels such as capillaries. – Heart Disease; heart attack and stroke. – Eye Complications; leading to blindness and other vision problems. – Kidney Disease; kidney damage and may lead to kidney failure. – Nerve Damage (neuropathy); damage to the nerves that run through the body. – Foot Problems; nerve damage, infections of the feet, and problems with blood flow to the feet. – Skin Complications; skin problems, such as infections, sores, and itching. – Dental Disease; gingivitis and periodontitis.
