Fructosamine
Fructosamine measures glycated serum proteins, mostly albumin, and reflects average blood glucose over the prior two to three weeks. It is useful when HbA1c is unreliable, such as in hemoglobinopathies, hemolysis, or recent transfusion, and for tracking rapid changes in glucose control during pregnancy or medication adjustments.

What is Fructosamine?
Fructosamine measures glycated serum proteins, mostly albumin, and reflects average blood glucose over the prior two to three weeks. It is useful when HbA1c is unreliable, such as in hemoglobinopathies, hemolysis, or recent transfusion, and for tracking rapid changes in glucose control during pregnancy or medication adjustments.
Why It Matters
Reflects shorter-term glucose control than HbA1c. Useful when HbA1c is unreliable (hemoglobin variants, anemia). Helps detect rapid changes in glucose control.
