Hi, and thanks for coming to take the quiz. This will help you remember the important stuff from the video - VERY important not just to survive but to thrive! You will get one point for each correct answer, and there's a total of 21 points possible. Don't stress out, it's just to help you learn - we aren't emailing your score to NASA or anything... Some questions have more than one right answer, so pay attention. Most of all, have fun. There's a complimentary gift at the end, so stick around for your results! With blessings and gratitude, Matthew 1. What are less common names for the A1C test that you might see on your blood work report? HA1c Hemoglobin A1c HgA1c Chitty-chitty bang-bang HbA1c A1c (I'd better get this one right, it's in the title above!) 2. What are the two MOST important blood tests to evaluate how well-controlled your diabetes is? A1c Fructosamine Regular home blood sugar testing Cholesterol 3. Why does the A1c test show average blood sugar over the last (roughly) three months? Because I've only been watching my blood sugar for three months Because I had my last haircut three months ago Because it tests how much sugar has attached to my red blood cells, and they live for about three months 4. Why is A1c considered to be a better test than the fructosamine test? Fructosamine is an uncommon test, so caregivers won't immediately understand the result A1c doesn't work on vampires Fructosamine shows averages over the last 1-3 weeks, so I'd need it many times in a row to see what A1c tells me It will be harder for other diabetics to support me because they don't know what it means 5. What is true about the A1c test? It is one of the most valuable things for getting a sense of how well I'm controlling my diabetes It reflects my average blood sugar because sugar in my blood stream attaches to red blood cells Even non-diabetics will have an A1c result because sugar attaches to their red blood cells, too Higher numbers reflect poor control and lower numbers reflect better or good control 6. What would show a "pretty good" to a "really good" degree of control (this is a trickier one)? 7.1 5.8 8.5 5.4 7. What statements below are true? Anybody with diabetes can achieve an A1c in the 5.0-6.0 range (though it may take time) Doctors who suggest a goal of 7 do so because they don't think I will be compliant If I'm in poor control, my blood cells won't live as long - the meaning of my A1c will be different My home testing shows me what my glucose levels are at a specific moment a few times a day; A1c shows me every second over a long period of time Comments?
