Fructosamine

Our laboratory in Belgrade, IntroLab, offers you an efficient and fast way to perform and obtain results for fructosamine analysis. Fructosamine analysis is a blood laboratory test that measures the level of fructosamine.

What is fructosamine, exactly?

Fructosamine is a compound formed when glucose (sugar) reacts with proteins in the blood. Measuring fructosamine levels provides information about the long-term blood sugar level. Therefore, this analysis is an integral part of blood tests for diabetes and is useful in assessing sugar control in individuals with the condition.

Why is measuring fructosamine important?

The fructosamine test is often used as an addition to standard tests for monitoring blood glucose levels. Its advantage is that it provides information on the average blood sugar level over the previous 2 to 3 weeks. The fructosamine analysis can help doctors assess long-term sugar control in people with diabetes or monitor the effectiveness of therapy.
