The HbA1c test evaluates average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by measuring glycated haemoglobin in the blood. This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus, as it reflects long-term glucose control rather than daily fluctuations. Elevated HbA1c levels suggest poor glycemic control, helping healthcare providers adjust treatments and lifestyle plans. Unlike fasting glucose tests, HbA1c doesn’t require fasting and reflects overall glucose exposure, providing a broader picture of diabetic status. It helps predict the risk of diabetes complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease. The test is recommended for people at risk of diabetes or those managing the condition. Redcliffe Labs offers convenient home sample collection by certified professionals, along with detailed reports to support ongoing diabetes care and prevention.
