The Diabetes (HbA1c) Blood Test measures the average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past two to three months. It is a useful tool for checking for prediabetes, monitoring diabetes, or assessing how well blood sugar levels are being managed.

Key Features

Can help detect prediabetes or diabetes.
Useful for ongoing monitoring in individuals with diabetes.

Product Information

HbA1c reflects the percentage of haemoglobin in the blood that is coated with sugar. Higher levels can indicate a higher average blood sugar level, which may increase the risk of diabetes-related complications. This test can be an important part of routine health checks, especially for those at risk of developing diabetes or those managing the condition.

What's in the test?

Diabetes

HbA1c

Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), also known as glycated haemoglobin, is a longer-term measure of glucose levels in your blood than a simple blood glucose test. Glucose attaches itself to the haemoglobin in your red blood cells, and as your cells live for around 12-16 weeks, it gives us a good indication of the average level of sugar in your blood over a 3-month period. A raised HbA1c result points to diabetes or an increased risk of developing diabetes, which can have a significant impact on your lifespan and quality of life. Complications of uncontrolled diabetes include heart disease, kidney disease, eye problems, and vascular conditions. It can also contribute to mental health problems. And men with diabetes are three times more likely to have erectile dysfunction. Keeping your HbA1c within a normal range can help you reduce the risk of these conditions.
