The HbA1C test is prescribed as a routine checkup for everyone, regardless of age and gender. It is used to detect the following:

• Prediabetes: A condition where the blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes: This is a kind of diabetes in which the pancreas does not produce insulin, causing high blood sugar levels
• Type 2 diabetes: A condition in which the body does not produce insulin or is resistant to insulin.

The test is important for people who are more susceptible to developing diabetes. These risk factors are:

• People over 40 years of age
• Family history of diabetes
• Obesity
• Gestational diabetes or diabetes during pregnancy
• Sedentary lifestyle

Fasting is not required before the HbA1C test. If you take any medication, please inform the doctor so they can issue necessary precautions. If the test is prescribed in addition to other tests like fasting blood sugar or FBS, you might be required to fast. Check with the doctor for clarification.

During the HbA1C Test

Once you have booked the HbA1C test, a trained and experienced phlebotomist will arrive at the specified location to collect the blood sample. They use new sterilized needles, gloves, and a vein finder device to locate the best vein to draw blood from. The blood is stored in a barcoded vial and safely transported to a laboratory for analysis. The entire process is done in a hygienic manner, following all safety protocols.
