Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Your average blood sugar levels over the past 90 days.
Clinical Relevance
HbA1c measures the percentage of red blood cells coated with glucose. Unlike volatile daily glucose spikes, it provides a stable 3-month window, serving as the gold standard for tracking insulin resistance and pre-diabetes trends.
Why It Varies
Impacted by long-term dietary carbohydrate refining, liver glucose production, sleep deprivation, stress levels, and skeletal muscle activity.
Longevity & Lifestyle Pointers
- Reduce intake of refined sugars and processed simple carbohydrates.
- Incorporate resistance training to increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake.
- Establish consistent sleep cycles (7-8 hours) to reduce morning cortisol spikes.
Clinical Governance & Disclaimer
An HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol is standard in the UK. Borderline values (39-41 mmol/mol) represent an early warning window to implement proactive lifestyle alterations before reaching pre-diabetic thresholds.
