This is an essential laboratory kit for managing diabetes in children, both type 1 and type 2. It combines two key measurements: serum glucose, which reflects the blood sugar level at the time of sampling, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which measures the percentage of hemoglobin bound to glucose in red blood cells and provides an accurate average of blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. Together, these two measurements form the cornerstone of assessing blood sugar control.
