If your results show you have prediabetes, you will usually need to be tested every 1 to 2 years. But in case you're found to have diabetes, you will have to get this test at least twice a year.

During the HbA1c Test 

An experienced phlebotomist will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a vein finder and a small needle. The blood will be kept in a collection tube for transportation and examination. The phlebotomist will take it safely to the PharmEasy labs.
