HBA-1C Test - Accurate Monitoring of Blood Sugar Control

The HBA-1C test (also known as Hemoglobin A1C or Glycated Hemoglobin Test) is a key test used to measure your average blood glucose (sugar) levels over the past two to three months. It is primarily used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes. By tracking your long-term blood sugar levels, this test helps in assessing your risk of diabetes-related complications and guides treatment decisions.

Why Take This Test?

  • Monitor Diabetes: Crucial for people with diabetes to track their long-term blood sugar control.
  • Early Detection of Prediabetes: Helps detect early signs of prediabetes before symptoms appear, allowing for preventive measures.
  • Track Treatment Effectiveness: Assesses how well your current treatment or lifestyle changes are controlling your blood sugar levels.

Test Preparation:

  • No Fasting Required: Unlike some other tests, no fasting is necessary before taking the HBA-1C test.
  • Inform Your Doctor: Make sure to inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you are on medication for diabetes or any other health condition.

What Does the Test Measure?

  • Glycated Hemoglobin Levels: Measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that has glucose attached to it, providing an overall picture of your blood sugar levels over time.
  • Long-Term Blood Sugar Control: Reflects the average blood glucose levels over the last two to three months, giving a clearer picture than a one-time blood glucose test.
  • Diabetes Risk and Management: Helps assess whether your blood sugar levels are within a healthy range or if they need attention to prevent complications.
