Fructosamine is a measurement of glycated serum proteins (primarily albumin), analogous to HbA1c but reflecting glycemic control over a shorter time span of approximately 2–3 weeks([marekdiagnostics.com](https://marekdiagnostics.com/products/fructosamine?utm_source=openai)).
Special Instructions
No special patient preparation is required; avoid high-dose vitamin C supplements for several days before testing as they may artificially lower results([walkinlab.com](https://www.walkinlab.com/products/view/fructosamine-blood-test?utm_source=openai)).
