Blood cells live 120 days generally. This is how much it takes our body to replace all blood cells from our blood with new cells. But when they are damaged or poorly shaped (like sickle cells) they live much shorter. That’s because our body tries to replace damaged cells with right ones. When person with diabetes eats too much sugar, it can be measured on blood cells membrane. And because they live 120 days, this “high sugar” on blood cell membrane is measurable for 120 days after intake.
