ليه تحليل HBA1c مش بيستخدم في الحمل؟
🌟 Accuracy Issues:
HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose levels over 2-3 months, but pregnancy involves rapid metabolic and hormonal changes, making it less accurate for tracking short-term glucose fluctuations.
🩺 Physiological Changes:
During pregnancy, factors like increased red blood cell turnover reduce the lifespan of red blood cells, potentially lowering HbA1c levels and providing misleading results.
🚼 Limited Sensitivity:
HbA1c may not detect short-term glucose abnormalities like postprandial hyperglycemia, which is crucial for identifying and managing gestational diabetes.
⏳ Timing Limitations:
Early pregnancy HbA1c results reflect pre-pregnancy glucose control, not the critical glucose trends that develop during the second and third trimesters.
📉 Alternative Tools:
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) are more effective for evaluating glucose levels and detecting gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
