# GlycoMark® and Hb A1c

> This test measures Hemoglobin A1c to track average blood sugar over several months and uses the GlycoMark test to detect recent sugar spikes after meals. It is useful for monitoring diabetes management by revealing high blood sugar events that a standard long-term average might miss. This helps show whether glucose levels remain stable throughout the day or fluctuate significantly. However, this test does not diagnose the specific cause of blood sugar fluctuations or replace the need for daily glucose testing.
