Adrenal fatigue can wreak havoc with your life. In the more serious cases, the activity of the adrenal glands is so diminished that you may have difficulty getting out of bed for more than a few hours per day. With each increment of reduction in adrenal function, every organ and system in your body is more profoundly affected.
When glucose attaches to a protein molecule, the combination forms fructosamine, also known as glycated serum protein. Proteins remain in the bloodstream for two to three weeks, so the test shows your blood glucose control over the previous two to three weeks.
What it really measures. The A1c test examines hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, to determine what percentage of it is glycated (in other words, what percentage of the hemoglobin has glucose bonded to it).he result of an A1c test is a percentage. The percent sign is often omitted on lab reports, apparently for the sake of holding clarity to a minimum, but just pretend it's there. If your result says 6.2, that means 6.2% (in other words, 6.2% of your hemoglobin is glycated).
