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

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. The vein finder device is an important tool that they have as it reduces the discomfort by locating the best vein in the forearm to draw blood from.
