Glycated hemoglobin

Glycated hemoglobin (GHb) refers to the portion of hemoglobin in the blood that is bound to glucose. When the glucose concentration in the blood is high, the content of glycated hemoglobin formed by the human body will also be relatively high. The life span of red blood cells in the human body is generally 120 none. Before the cell dies, the glycated hemoglobin content in the blood will also remain relatively unchanged. Because some glycated hemoglobin levels reflect the average blood glucose level in the 120 days before the test, it has nothing to do with the time of blood draw, whether the patient is fasting, whether to use insulin and other factors. It is a good indicator for judging the long-term control of diabetes.
