• Gestational diabetes or diabetes during pregnancy
• People who are over 40 years of age
• A family history of diabetes
• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle

An important part of the routine checkup, the HbA1C test is prescribed for everyone, irrespective of age or gender, as it detects the following:

• Prediabetes: A medical condition where the blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes: A medical condition in which the pancreas does not produce insulin, increasing the blood sugar levels
• Type 2 diabetes: A kind of diabetes in which the body does not produce sufficient insulin or is resistant to insulin

It is not required to fast before the HbA1C test. If the test is prescribed with other tests like fasting blood sugar, fasting might be required. Check with the doctor for further clarification. Additionally, please inform the doctor about any medications that you take, before the test.

During the HbA1C Test

Book the HbA1C test and relax. A trained phlebotomist will arrive at the location and collect the blood sample. The phlebotomist uses new sterilized needles, gloves, and a vein finder device. The vein finder device locates the best vein to draw blood from, reducing any discomfort. The samples are then stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then transported to the laboratory. The process is hygienic and all safety protocols are followed.
