HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) Test in Gurgaon - Price & Details

It's highly recommended by doctors to choose PharmEasy for your HBa1c test due to their efficient services. PharmEasy provides accurate and reliable test results at a very affordable price. Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen in your body. HbA1c is a combination of glucose and hemoglobin, where hemoglobin is 'glycated.' The amount of HbA1c formed is directly linked to the amount of glucose in your blood.

An A1C test can be used to screen for or diagnose:

• Type 2 diabetes, where your blood glucose gets too high because your body doesn't make enough insulin, or your cells stop responding to insulin.
• Prediabetes, indicating higher-than-normal blood glucose levels, which can be managed through lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and exercise to prevent it from progressing to type 2 diabetes.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends A1C testing for diabetes and prediabetes if:

• Over 45 years old, it's a good idea.
• If your results are normal, do it every 3 years.
• If you've got prediabetes, get tested every 1 to 2 years; ask your provider for advice.
• If it's diabetes, have an A1C test at least twice a year.
• Consider it if you're under 45 and more likely to develop diabetes because of:
• Prediabetes.
• Being overweight.
• A family member with type 2 diabetes.
• High blood pressure or cholesterol.
• Heart disease or a past stroke.
• Not being active much (less than 3 times a week).
• Having had gestational diabetes or a baby over 9 pounds.
• Being African American, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, Asian American, or having polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
• If you have symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, increased hunger, blurred vision, numb or tingling hands or feet, fatigue, dry skin, slow-healing sores, or more infections than usual, an A1C test might be needed.

The HbA1C test is straightforward and does not necessitate any specific preparation. It can be scheduled at a convenient time without the need for fasting. While no special preparations are needed for an HbA1c test, it's possible that your doctor may recommend additional tests that could require fasting.
