Overview
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 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.
Test Necessity
The necessity of the HbA1c test is going to differ for different age groups. Therefore, we will categorise them into two parts, before and after 45.
Over 45:
- You should repeat the tests after every 3 years even if the reports are normal.
- In case you have a prediabetes condition, you will usually need to be tested every 1 to 2 years. You need to be in constant touch with your doctor to get tested and how you can reduce the risk.
- In case you're having type 2 diabetes, you should do the test multiple times a year.
Below 45:
- You might develop diabetes if you have prediabetes.
- Have a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes.
- If you're suffering from obesity.
- Have heart disease or have had a stroke.
- Are African American, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian, or an Alaska Native person
- Struggling with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Test Preparation
No fasting is required for the HbA1c test. There's no special requirement to prepare for the test.
During the HbA1c Test
The experienced phlebotomist will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a vein finder to locate your vein. It is a simple procedure that takes about 5-10 minutes. The blood sample is transferred to a collection tube and then transported to the PharmEasy Labs for testing. Everything is done cleanly and hygienically.
