147+ booked in last 3 daysHbA1c Test or Glycated Haemoglobin Test Overview
HbA1c or glycated haemoglobin is a blood test that reflects blood glucose levels in the last three months. It is useful for the diagnosis and management of diabetes and prediabetes. This test does not require fasting and is not affected by meals consumed immediately before the test (less prone to variation). In diabetic patients, high HbA1c levels mean a need for a change in treatment/ diet plan.
The higher the glucose levels, the more the glucose is attached to haemoglobin and the higher the HbA1c results. A higher HbA1c result indicates that the glucose levels have been higher than normal for the past 2 to 3 months.
