HbA1c – Glycated Hemoglobin Test
A key blood test that reflects average blood sugar levels over the last 2–3 months, widely used for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring. This test is particularly recommended for people with diabetes or those at high risk, as it provides a reliable long-term measure of glucose control.
Measures/Identifies
Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months
Who is it for?
Patients with increased appetite, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss; those with a family history of diabetes; or diabetics monitoring treatment effectiveness.
Why this test?
The HbA1c test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months, offering a broader picture than a single fasting glucose test. It is essential for diagnosing diabetes, assessing long-term glucose control, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment plans. Early detection of abnormal HbA1c levels can help reduce the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, or neuropathy.
