Overview
The HbA1c test is usually done annually, as a part of the routine checkup, and is done by adults and children alike. Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to manage blood sugar levels. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. You will need to do the test to detect these conditions:
- Prediabetes: This means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be treated as diabetes
- Type 1 diabetes: If you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas is unable to produce sufficient levels of insulin, causing the blood sugar levels to be higher than normal
- Type 2 diabetes: If you have type 2 diabetes, your body is either resistant to insulin or the pancreas does not produce sufficient amounts of insulin

During the HbA1c Test
The HbA1c test is a blood test, and once it is booked, a phlebotomist will be assigned to you who will arrive at your house to collect the blood sample. You can choose a convenient date and time as there are many time slots available. The phlebotomists carry a disposable fresh collection kit that has sterilised needles and gloves.
