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

The HbA1C test is generally advised for those above 40, with a family history of diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, a history of gestational diabetes, or limited physical activity. Also, please note that your doctor won't solely depend on HbA1c test results for diagnosing diabetes.

Additional tests and examinations may be required to confirm it. For those already diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, HbA1c test results play a crucial role in monitoring blood sugar levels.

An HbA1c test may be prescribed if you experience symptoms of diabetes, including:

• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Blurry vision
• Numb or tingling sensations in hands or feet
• Slow-healing sores
• Unintentional weight loss
• Intense hunger
• Fatigue
• Dry skin

Unlike daily blood sugar tests, HbA1c reflects a person's average glucose levels over three months. It provides a more comprehensive and stable assessment of blood sugar levels and diabetes control. Regular HbA1c testing is crucial for early intervention and preventing long-term health issues linked to uncontrolled blood sugar levels.

No special preparations are needed for this test, and fasting is not required. You can take the HbA1c test without skipping your meals and at any time of the day. However, if your doctor recommends additional tests along with the HbA1C test, you might need to prepare accordingly. Please make sure to inform your doctor about your medical history and the medications or health supplements you are taking.

During the HbA1c Test

For an HbA1c test, a small blood sample is typically collected through a routine blood draw from a vein in your arm. The process is quick, usually taking a few minutes. Our PharmEasy technicians will follow all safety guidelines during and after the sample collection process to ensure your comfort.

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.
