Sample Diabetes Risk Results Graphically Illustrated
These results indicate that the individual tested is at medium to medium-high risk for diabetes, and immediate action should be taken to reduce the risk of progressing to a fully diabetic stage that requires strict dietary regimes, increasingly more aggressive medication treatment, or dependency on daily insulin injections.
While the DRA test alone should not be used to rule out further diagnosis by a physician, it does provide an FDA Approved test of current Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) and HbA lc (Glycated Hemoglobin) condition. The DRA is a reliable indicator for initiating a proactive daily blood glucose management regime that may help prevent further development of the diabetic condition that can lead to much more serious health problems.
The American Diabetes Association recommends an HbA c result below 7% as a good indicator of daily blood glucose control. The HbAlc test results are viewed as more reliable because they reflect an average blood glucose level over a 2 to 3 month period, rather than solely relying on daily blood glucose readings that can be more readily influenced by food and caloric intake on any given day.
Persons concerned about managing their blood glucose levels should consult a Certified Diabetes Educator or a physician. If you decide to initiate the management of your blood glucose through diet, exercise and/or non-prescription nutritional formulations it is important to do so with a clinically documented nutraceutical nutritional formulation that has the scientific evidence to support its claims, and is FDA Compliant for all health claims made.
