What is Diabetes?

“Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.”1

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

“More than 18 million Americans are affected by diabetes. Type 2 diabetes
accounts for 90 to 95% of all diagnosed diabetes cases. In Type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or does not respond properly to its own natural insulin.”1

Who is at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes?

“Some risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include older age, obesity, a family history of diabetes, physical inactivity, a history of diabetes during pregnancy
and race/ethnicity. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, and some Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for Type 2 diabetes. In addition, Type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents.”1

What are the Complications of Diabetes?

“Complications of diabetes include stroke, heart attack, blindness, kidney failure and loss of limbs. To manage diabetes, it is important to set and meet A1C goals. Lowering blood sugar levels can help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.”1

What is A1C?

A1C correlates to a patient’s blood glucose giving them an average of their blood sugar level for the last 2-3 months with approximately 50% of the score coming from the last 30 days.2 The A1cNow®

InView™ test takes about 5 minutes and can be done right in the exam room providing patients with immediate A1C results which encourages immediate face-to-face counseling. If a patient’s A1C is high, changes in their diet, exercise and possibly medications may help reduce their A1C which could help reduce their risks. Immediate, face-to-face counseling about patients’ A1C results may motivate patients to actually do the things the physician tells them to do. Patients who get immediate feedback may lower their A1C by up to 1%.3, 4 In fact, it has been shown that a 1% reduction in A1C lowers risk of complications such as eye, kidney and nerve disease by 40%.5

Your A1C Value Tells You Your Average Glucose Value over a 2-3 Month Period.

Why does AACE Recommend an A1C Goal of 6.5% or Less?

“After review of the current body of research, the AACE concluded that 6.5% is the best level to strive for to reduce the likelihood of diabetes-related complications. It is important, however, that people with Type 2 diabetes speak with their doctor or other healthcare professional about setting
their own personal goal.” 1
