A fructosamine blood test checks how much sugar has stuck to proteins in your blood over the last 2 to 3 weeks. Doctors use it to see if someone’s blood sugar has been controlled recently, especially when they need a quicker answer than a longer test. They draw blood because the fructosamine is measured from stuff that’s actually in the blood.
