🔍 What is the HbA1c Test?
The HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) Test measures your average blood glucose over the past 2–3 months.
It’s one of the most trusted tests for detecting and monitoring diabetes and prediabetes.
When sugar (glucose) attaches to hemoglobin in your blood, it forms glycated hemoglobin. The higher your sugar levels, the higher your HbA1c percentage — helping doctors assess your long-term blood sugar control.
📈 Why the HbA1c Test is Important
Unlike fasting or post-meal sugar tests, HbA1c shows a bigger picture of your blood sugar pattern over time.
Doctors recommend it for:
-
Early detection of diabetes
-
Monitoring medication and treatment effectiveness
-
Evaluating lifestyle impact on glucose levels
-
Preventing long-term complications like kidney, heart, and nerve diseases
📊 Understanding Your HbA1c Results
| HbA1c Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Below 5.7% | Normal |
| 5.7% – 6.4% | Prediabetes |
| 6.5% or higher | Diabetes |
Maintaining HbA1c below 6.5% is key to keeping diabetes in control and ensuring better health outcomes.
