Dr. Ahmed Al-Sanhouri, a specialist in internal diseases, diabetes and endocrinology at the National Diabetes Institute, said that cumulative sugar is an analysis that determines the level of sugar in the blood over the past three months and must be performed by a diabetic patient periodically.
Al-Sanhouri explained, in a statement to “Youm7” that the rate Cumulative sugar The ideal is less than 5.7, and below this percentage the person does not have diabetes at all or is a diabetic whose diabetes is “controlled” with medications.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Sanhouri pointed out two conditions that cause the cumulative sugar level to rise above 5.7, which are:
– The first case: If the cumulative blood sugar ranges from 5.7 to 6.4, this is a condition called pre-diabetes.
– In the second case, if the cumulative blood sugar is above 6.4, in this case the person is considered a diabetic.
He explained that analyzing the cumulative blood sugar is better than analyzing the random blood sugar because the cumulative blood sugar reveals the blood sugar level over a period of 3 months, and it reveals whether the person’s blood sugar fluctuates between high and low, unlike random sugar, which measures the blood sugar level for a short period.
He warned against high levels of cumulative blood sugar because it causes complications, explaining that there is a recent study that has proven that there is a relationship between the patient’s cumulative blood sugar and the occurrence of complications, and that with a decrease in the amount of cumulative blood sugar, the rate of occurrence of complications such as deaths, heart attacks, and atherosclerosis is reduced, and it reduces exposure to amputation. Or death due to blood vessels.
