This test checks how much sugar is stuck to proteins in your blood. It helps your doctor see your average blood sugar levels for the last two to three weeks.
Doctors order the fructosamine test to check blood sugar control. This test looks at your sugar levels over the past two to three weeks. It is helpful for people with diabetes. Sometimes, the regular A1c test might not be correct. This can happen because of certain health problems. The fructosamine test gives doctors a better picture in these cases.
Reference ranges for fructosamine can vary by laboratory and may depend on factors like age and health conditions. Your test report will include the specific reference range used by the lab that performed your test.
