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.

HbA1c test results are in the form of percentages. You can see the reference ranges to interpret your test results. Based on these reference ranges, you can understand if you are in the HbA1c test normal range or if you are in the prediabetes phase or have diabetes.
