While the test is valuable, your doctor may use additional tests and examinations to confirm a diabetes diagnosis.

There are no basic requirements for the HbA1c test. For a standalone HbA1c test, you do not need to fast.

During the HbA1c Test

During the glycosylated haemoglobin test, a blood sample is needed. A vaccinated phlebotomist will come to your doorstep for sample collection. They will draw blood from a vein, usually in your arm. A new testing kit and sterilised syringes are used for this process. The collected sample is stored in an icebox, and the whole process takes only 5-10 minutes.
