Glycated Haemoglobin test is necessary.

 Glycated Haemoglobin or Haemoglobin A1c is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar level over the past 2–3 months. It is one of the most important tests used to diagnose and check diabetes.

Difference between “sugar” and “blood sugar” is sucrose is the chemical name of table sugar, a compound of glucose and fructose (50% each). glucose is the body's primary energy source, directly fuelling cells. Fructose metabolized primarily in the liver, where it is metabolised to glucose or fat, and does not require insulin for first processing. Whereas glucose metabolized throughout the body for energy via glycolysis, regulated by insulin,

The major source of glucose from foods is carbohydrates, specifically starches and sugars. When digested, these carbohydrates broken down in the stomach and small intestine into glucose, which enters the bloodstream as blood sugar to provide energy for the body's cells, tissues, and organs. Fructose found highest in apples, pears, mangoes, watermelon, and cherries. Dried fruits like raisins, figs, dates, and dried apricots are highly concentrated in fructose. Consumption of fructose should be at a moderate level as heavy doses puts load on lever.

Our cells use glucose for energy. A hormone called insulin helps glucose get into our cells. If somebody has diabetes body does not make enough insulin, or cells do not use it well. As a result, glucose cannot get into cells, hence blood sugar levels increase.

Glucose in blood sticks to haemoglobin, a protein in our red blood cells. As blood glucose levels increase, more of glucose sticks to haemoglobin. An A1C or HbA1c test measures the percentage of red blood cells that have glucose-coated haemoglobin, thus making the test a key tool for diabetes diagnosis and management. Since red blood cells live about 120 days, this test reflects long-term blood sugar control, not just a single day.

Why HbA1c test is necessary because if you go for random test of blood sugar or blood sugar fasting tests which is conducted before meal and after meal ,  will show sugar at that movement in the blood, but HbA1c blood test shows long term sugar levels body was supporting.  HbA1c blood test aware us about hidden sugar spikes you may not notice and helps us to predict risk of diabetes complications: heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, eye problems and to take necessary action to control the imbalance in the body.
