Test Necessity
If the doctor feels that you have any risk factors relating to diabetes, they prescribe the HbA1c test. The risk factors are:
- Gestational diabetes or diabetes during pregnancy
- People who are over 40 years of age
- A family history of diabetes
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
An important part of the routine checkup, the HbA1c test is prescribed for everyone, irrespective of age or gender, as it detects the following:
- Prediabetes: A medical condition where the blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes
- Type 1 diabetes: A medical condition in which the pancreas does not produce insulin, increasing the blood sugar levels
- Type 2 diabetes: A kind of diabetes in which the body does not produce sufficient insulin or is resistant to insulin
Test Preparation
It is not required to fast before the HbA1c test. If the test is prescribed with other tests like fasting blood sugar, fasting might be required. Check with the doctor for further clarification. Additionally, please inform the doctor about any medications that you take before the test.
During the HbA1c Test
Book the HbA1c test and relax. A trained phlebotomist will arrive at the location and collect the blood sample. The phlebotomist uses new sterilised needles, gloves, and a vein finder device. The vein finder device locates the best vein to draw blood from, reducing any discomfort. The samples are then stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then transported to the laboratory. The process is hygienic, and all safety protocols are follow.
