1 If a person is diagnosed with diabetes, then the physician may recommend regular HbA1c tests in the future. 2  Depending on the type of diabetes, the patient may need to undergo the HbA1c normal range test after every 3 to 6 months.ed blood cells typically live for approximately 120 days in the bloodstream. This allows an HbA1c range test to determine the levels of sugar occurring in the body for over the past 3 months. As compared to regular monitoring of glucose carried out at home, an HbA1c range test is more reliable and relatively better.
African-American chemist Percy Julian was a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs such as cortisone, steroids and birth control pills.
In 1990 he was elected to the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and in 1993 the U.S. Postal Service issued the Julian stamp in the Black Heritage Commemorative Stamp series. In 1999 the city of Greencastle renamed First Street to Percy Julian Drive. It must be considered that Dr. Julian is probably DePauw's most famous scientist, says James, and one whose life is very much at the core of what DePauw seeks to be: a mirror of national and global community.
