    What is Fructosamine Test?

    The Fructosamine test measures glycated proteins, primarily glycated albumin, to assess average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 weeks. It is especially useful when HbA1c is unreliable, such as during pregnancy, after medication changes, or in conditions like haemolytic anaemia, abnormal hemoglobin variants, or chronic kidney disease.

    Unlike HbA1c, which reflects glucose control over three months, the Fructosamine test offers a quicker, cost-effective assessment and is ideal for monitoring short-term fluctuations and early treatment responses. Recent studies suggest it may also help predict diabetes and its complications.

    While it is not typically used for initial diabetes screening, the Fructosamine test plays a key role in managing glucose control and guiding treatment adjustments.

    In Bangalore, the test can be conveniently done at home, with fast results.

    Fructosamine Test Parameters

    The Fructosamine blood test measures only one key parameter: the concentration of glycated serum proteins in the blood.

    The term “fructosamine” comes from the 5-atom ring structure formed when glucose binds to serum proteins, resembling fructose. However, despite the name, fructosamine has no connection to fructose or its metabolism. These glycated proteins remain in the bloodstream for as long as the proteins themselves last, giving information on the recent blood sugar levels.

    Red blood cells (RBCs) survive for about 120 days, so glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects average glucose levels over 2–3 months. In contrast, serum proteins have a much shorter lifespan of 14–21 days. This means fructosamine levels indicate blood sugar control over a 2–3 week period.

    Monitoring glucose levels is crucial for diabetes management. Keeping blood sugar within a healthy range helps prevent complications linked with prolonged high glucose levels, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems. Effective diabetes control involves frequent self-monitoring and periodic laboratory tests. While HbA1c is widely used for long-term glucose tracking, fructosamine testing provides a faster assessment of blood sugar trends, making it useful in situations where rapid monitoring is needed.

    Fructosamine Test Preparation

    To ensure accurate results for your Fructosamine test at home, here are a few things you should know:

    • Prerequisites

    No special preparation, such as fasting, is required before the Fructosamine test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The Fructosamine test can be performed at any time during the day, with no specific time restrictions. 4

    • Who Should Get a Fructosamine Test?

    Individuals with diabetes, particularly those with recent changes in their blood sugar, medication, diet, or exercise, and those who are pregnant, should consider a Fructosamine test to monitor their glucose control.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Fructosamine Test

    There are no special precautions to take before you plan to get tested for Fructosamine.

    Why Take the Fructosamine Test?

    The Fructosamine blood test is a helpful tool for monitoring short-term blood glucose control, and it is typically used in the following situations:

    • Recent Changes in Diabetes Treatment : If there have been changes to medications, diet, or exercise, the Fructosamine test can show how well these changes are controlling blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 weeks.

    • Diabetes During Pregnancy : Pregnant women with diabetes need close monitoring of their blood glucose levels. The Fructosamine test is useful here, especially when other tests, like HbA1c, may not be as reliable.

    • Shortened Red Blood Cell Lifespan : Conditions like anaemia or sickle cell disease can affect the lifespan of red blood cells, making the HbA1c test less accurate. In these cases, the Fructosamine test gives a more accurate picture of short-term blood sugar levels.

    • Diabetes Screening in Specific Populations : Fructosamine can also be useful for screening diabetes in populations with high rates of sickle cell disease or in regions where other tests may not be as effective.

    • Useful Biomarker for Hyperglycaemia : Fructosamine is closely related to HbA1c and glucose, making it an important biomarker for monitoring hyperglycaemia and glucose control. It has also been shown to predict the risk of developing diabetes and its complications in small blood vessels.

    The Fructosamine test provides valuable information about glucose control over a shorter time, helping to manage diabetes effectively.
