As an alternative to glucose, your HbA1c result will be used over and above glucose if the result is sent to Multiply. HbA1c reflects the mean glucose concentration over a specific period (approximately 8-12 weeks, depending on the individual) and provides a superior indication of long-term glycaemic control than blood and urinary glucose determinations. Within range HbA1c: 4,0-5,6%.
