Know More about HBA1C (GLYCOSYLATED HAEMOGLOBIN)
The HbA1C test is a simple blood test that can reveal the average blood sugar (glucose) levels you've had for the past 2-3 months. Therefore, it can help diagnose diabetes or prediabetes as well as monitor how well diabetes is being controlled. The HbA1C test is a big step ahead of regular blood sugar tests, because it offers a long-term view of your glucose control. This makes it an important test to help prevent diabetic complications such as heart disease, nerve issues, and kidney problems.
Process
- Our lab technician will collect a blood sample from your vein or finger prick.
- Your sample will then be tested in a laboratory by utilizing tested techniques such as HPLC.
- You will then receive your results in the form of a percentage, representing the amount of sugar-bound hemoglobin.
When to get tested
Proposed testing for HbA1C includes individuals aged 45 or older, or overweight, or have a family history of diabetes. Testing is also recommended if experiencing any of the following symptoms: increased urination, fatigue, increased thirst, or if managing existing diabetes.
Sample Type
A small amount of blood, usually from a vein or finger prick.
Test Preparation
No fast or special prep is required. You should eat and drink normally before the test.
Understanding Your Results
An HbA1C of 5.7% or lower is considered normal; 5.7% to 6.4% is prediabetes; and 6.5% or higher is diabetes. Having regular follow-up appointments will help adjust treatment plans and lower health risks.
