HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) Test In Aurangabad

PharmEasy Labs will use the HbA1c test to provide you with accurate reports regarding type 2 diabetes. It is also used to monitor blood glucose control in people with diabetes. As you know, haemoglobin plays a very important role in carrying oxygen through your body. HbA1c refers to glucose and haemoglobin joined together, meaning that haemoglobin is glycated. That's why it is also called the Glycosylated Hemoglobin test.

The average life of red blood cells is around 120 days. Therefore, HbA1c will help in indicating the amount of sugar in your blood for the past few months. You might feel that it is similar to that of a blood glucose test, which is used to check the amount of sugar in the blood at that particular point in time. The HbA1C test in Aurangabad shows you your average glucose level for the past three months. It can do so because:

• Red blood cells live for about three months.
• Glucose sticks to haemoglobin for as long as the red blood cells are alive.
