What Fructosamine measures
Fructosamine reflects average blood glucose over the previous two to three weeks, a shorter window than A1c.
If your Fructosamine is low
Fructosamine below the range is commonly associated with lower average glucose, or with low protein levels in the blood, which lower the number regardless of glucose.
Commonly associated with
- Lower average glucose
- Low blood protein
- Kidney or liver conditions
If your Fructosamine is high
Fructosamine above the range is commonly associated with higher average blood glucose over the previous two to three weeks.
Commonly associated with
- Higher average glucose
- Diabetes
- Recent change in glucose control
Typical reference range
| Group | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Adults | 190 – 270 umol/L |
Typical adult values used by many US labs. Your own report prints the range your lab validated for its method, and that range is the one that counts. Labwise always uses the printed range first.
If it is within range
Your fructosamine is within the range printed by your lab, which is commonly read as typical average glucose over the past few weeks.
