Kindly Advise ... Which is more accurate method for testing hba1c .. 1.Nycocard or 2. HPLCL

[Amitnikam]

Good Evening Everybody,

I recently had my hba1c checked . The results are as follows.

1.By Nycocard Method

Hba1c is 6.9% > Normal Ref Range 4.2-6.5%

Mean blood glucose is 82mg/dl

Note in report says :

Interpretation : Glycosylated Haemoglobin is a accurate and true index of the "Mean Blood Glucose" in the body for previous 2 to 3 months .

Method - Nycocard

---------------------------------------------------------------

Day before Nycocard I tested in another LAB they used HPLC method and results are :

Hba1c 5.4% Normal Ref Range = less than 5.7%

Mean blood Glucose which is 108mg/dl

------------------------------------------------------------

Hba1c result of 5.4 means I am normal and day later Nycocard shoes hba1c 6.9 indicating I am diebatic

All these reports are making me tense .. Don't understand them .. I am likely to loose my job due to high readings which are stating me as a diebatic.

Dear Amitnikam

don't worry much...

About method of checking Hba1c...request shrisamarth to comment...he is most learned person in forum to comment on this subject..ofcoz there are many others like @anup Hidden Hidden

you can bring down your Hba1c to normal level ...if u follow low carb diet and avoid consuming any fruit for next few months...

There are many in the forum who are currently maintaining normal Hba1c without or with minimum medicines.
