What does this test check?
HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) shows your average blood sugar over the past two to three months — a far more reliable picture of sugar control than a single day's reading.
It is the test doctors use both to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes and to track how well treatment is working. As a diabetologist-led lab, HbA1c is one of our most-run tests.
