Making menstrual blood count
Measuring your biomarkers.
Measures average blood sugar (glucose) over the previous 2-3 months. In people with diabetes, monitoring A1c levels can inform treatment goals and help with disease management, and reduce risk of adverse health impacts. The Q-Pad A1c Test measures A1c in menstrual blood, which can be used to monitor the long term control of blood sugar in people with diabetes. Elevated blood sugar (A1c) in people with diabetes can also lead to related issues like heart disease, fertility problems, mood swings, fatigue, and skin changes.
