HbA1c
Hämoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ist ein wichtiger Biomarker zur Langzeitkontrolle des Blutzuckerspiegels bei Diabetikern. Er gibt Auskunft über den durchschnittlichen Blutzuckerspiegel der letzten 2-3 Monate und ist daher ein wichtiger Indikator für die Diabetesbehandlung und -kontrolle. Ein erhöhter HbA1c-Wert kann auf eine unzureichende Blutzuckereinstellung hinweisen und das Risiko für Diabeteskomplikationen erhöhen.
