The HbA1c Test (also known as Glycated Hemoglobin Test) measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2 to 3 months. It is a key diagnostic and monitoring tool for diabetes and helps assess long-term blood sugar control.
It measures the percentage of glucose bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells, reflecting your average blood sugar level over the past 8–12 weeks.
It is used to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes, and to monitor how well blood sugar is being managed in people with diabetes.
No, fasting is not required for the HbA1c test.
Results are typically available within 8 hours.
