Zinzino HBA1C Test
检测分为两个主要环节。First, the actual measurement is performed using an easy at-home, laboratory-analyzed test for analyzing the long-term blood sugar level (HbA1c) found in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using the Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technique. This technique has been shown to correlate with venous blood sampling when validated for HbA1c analysis. All it requires is a few drops of blood on a filter paper and it takes less than a minute to complete. The blood will then be analyzed by VITAS Analytical Services in Norway, an independent laboratory with extensive experience in chromatographic analysis. 大约 10-20 天后，检测结果会以个人匿名检测 ID 的形式公布在 zinzinotest.com 网站上。
This measurement provides information about your long-term blood sugar level, because knowing your current levels can help you make informed choices and take positive steps in your daily routine. To know which lifestyle areas to consider, the second part of the test is a lifestyle assessment. 您使用检测 ID 登录后，将按要求填写一份详细问卷，用以评估生活方式。This will provide the context, because information without context is harder to interpret. The Zinzino lifestyle assessment will help you better understand your results, how your current lifestyle may relate to your wellness routine, and most importantly guide you towards informed lifestyle choices over time. To do this, we combine your test result with your lifestyle assessment and provide lifestyle-based scores related to the following areas, based on your questionnaire responses, for you to track over time:
– Overall lifestyle and well-being status
– HbA1c 检测分析
– Lifestyle factors related to metabolism
– Lifestyle factors related to immune function
– Lifestyle factors related to brain function
– Lifestyle factors related to gut function
– Lifestyle factors related to bone & joints
我们测量什么
The Hemoglobin A1c test that we use to measure the long-term blood sugar level analyzes the amount of A1c, a form of hemoglobin with glucose attached. The higher the amount of blood glucose (blood sugar) on average, the more glucose attaches to hemoglobin. It is represented as a unit of measurement in mmol/mol (millimoles per mole) which has been the standard measurement for HbA1c since 2009. The result is then categorized in one of 4 different reporting ranges used in the report:
The result is not intended to diagnose diabetes or any other medical condition.
注意！
When the HbA1c result is in the normal or monitor closely range, lifestyle assessment is presented, including lifestyle and background factors that may be associated with changes in long-term blood sugar levels over time. If the result is in the elevated range or high range, this information is not presented since as the report instead provides guidance to seek professional advice or follow-up.

如何使用
进行检测
1. Zinzino Test 是经过批准、用于在家中进行个人血样采集的体外诊断产品。
- 首先用肥皂洗手，然后用温水冲洗干净并擦干。
2. Take out the sample card from the paper envelope.
保存纸封以供后续使用。
Tear off the SAVE part on the sample card and take a picture of the test ID. You can only see your test result with your anonymous test ID. 将样本卡放在桌上，有两个圆圈的那一面朝上。
3. Stimulate blood flow by making big circles with your arm or shaking the hand downwards for 20 seconds.
4. 将一次性刺血针取出。除去透明安全盖，刺血针即可使用。
用酒精擦拭和清洁指尖（建议使用中指）。
Place the lancet against the lower part of the fingertip facing the collection paper on the table. 将刺血针的顶部推向手指，直到听到喀哒声。刺血针会自动在手指上刺一下。
5. 请勿用手指触碰滤纸。
6. 让血液填满圆圈，每次填满一个圆圈。轻轻挤压您的手指，让一滴血液自行滴落至圆圈中。
如果一滴血液没能填满圆圈，可立即让手指再滴一滴血液。
Leave the sample card in a horizontal position at room temperature for at least 10 minutes for the samples to dry well.
7. Insert the sample card back into the paper envelope. Then place the paper envelope into the metal bag and close it.
重要提示： 请勿取出铝箔袋内的干燥剂包。
8. 将密闭的金属袋放入带有实验室地址的大信封中。注意！ 在放入信箱之前，必须在信封上贴上正确数量的邮票。
Register your test ID code at www.zinzinotest.com. This is the website where you can see your test result later. 您需要等待 10-20 天的时间才能得到结果。
重要提示： Keep the SAVE part of the card. You can only see your test result with your anonymous test ID.
9. The next step is to answer the questionnaire by logging in with your annonymous test ID. To answer all the questions, you need to have access to a measuring tape, and previous Balance and/or 维生素 D test IDs if applicable.
10. 如何测量腰围：
• Place a measuring tape around your middle, just above the belly button.
• Make sure it’s pulled tight, but isn’t digging into your skin.
• Breathe out naturally and take your measurement.
• Take your measurement again, just to be sure.
小窍门！
If you do not have a measuring tape, use a piece of string in the same way, then measure the string with a yardstick.
