Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in blood sugar due to decreased insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells and impaired insulin function (insulin resistance). By measuring glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) you can find out what percentage of the red blood cell dye (hemoglobin) contains sugar. HbA1c is also recommended as the final goal of therapy and is recommended to be done at least twice a year. If the treatment target has not been achieved, it is recommended to check HbA1c 4 times a year. The aim of controlling blood glucose levels in DM is to minimize the occurrence of cardiovascular complications and improve the sufferer's quality of life. The benchmark for whether DM is controlled or not is by checking HbA1c in the blood. If the level is more than 7% then it needs to be treated with insulin or anti-diabetic drugs.
