The natural lifeline of a red blood cell is 120 days and its behavior during this period is of great importance to the medical practitioners; how much glucose it is carrying is crucial; thus the test is specific - monitoring how much it has locked itself with for quite a long period 2 to 3 months or more. The higher the glucose content, the higher the level of hbA1c; patients with clinical symptoms especially diabetic cases are advised to trim the level to 6% or less of hbA1c in their blood through all means including dieting.
