A1c EXPLAINED - What is it, and why should I care

The video tutorial by Kevin explains the molecular structure and significance of hemoglobin A1C, a key indicator of diabetes. It delves into the structure of hemoglobin, the forms of glucose, and the glycation process that leads to the formation of A1C. The tutorial highlights the importance of monitoring A1C levels to assess diabetes risk and discusses the pathophysiological effects of glycated hemoglobin, including its role in oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to conditions like atherosclerosis.

What are the potential health consequences of elevated A1C levels?

How can lifestyle changes impact hemoglobin A1C levels?

What are advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and their relevance to hemoglobin?

Discuss the pathways activated by glycated hemoglobin and their implications.
