Diabetes HbA1c

A diabetes HbA1c test, also known as a glycated hemoglobin test, measures how much glycated hemoglobin is in a person’s blood. The results of this test show a person’s average blood sugar levels over the last two to three months, allowing healthcare professionals to determine whether a person should undergo further diabetes testing.

Why Test Diabetes HbA1c?

Common reasons for this blood test are: 

  • To determine if blood sugar levels are consistently elevated over time, which may indicate diabetes
  • To evaluate if diabetes medication is working, and if so, how well
  • To access the risk of complications associated with diabetes such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage
