In this episode, Nurse Doza discusses the importance of the hemoglobin A1C lab test in diagnosing diabetes and managing blood sugar levels. He explains that a range of 6 to 6.4 is typically considered indicative of diabetes, while a range of 5.6 to 5.7 is classified as pre-diabetes. Nurse Doza also emphasizes the benefits of maintaining a lower A1C level, which can help protect against conditions like heart disease and vascular dementia. He advises getting the A1C test done annually and highlights the importance of not only monitoring blood sugar but also ensuring that insulin levels are properly regulated.
