Overview
Glucose from the foods you eat is used by your cells for energy. Insulin is the hormone responsible for getting glucose into your cells. The body does not produce enough insulin for people affected with diabetes. This leads to high blood glucose levels because the cells cannot use the glucose. Hence, the haemoglobin gets coated with the glucose. The HbA1c test tells you the percentage of haemoglobin in your blood that has been coated with glucose.
The HbA1C test is recommended for people at risk of diabetes with a family history, prediabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, PCOS, or a sedentary lifestyle.

Test Necessity
The HbA1C test is crucial for diagnosing diabetes or prediabetes in the early stages. With timely intervention, you can prevent any future complications and manage your blood glucose levels. For individuals with diabetes, HbA1C results help doctors fine-tune their treatment plans, which will help manage the condition effectively. By measuring the three-month average of blood sugar levels, this test provides a more accurate and comprehensive view of blood sugar control.
Test Preparation
There are no basic requirements for the HbA1c test like fasting. However, if your doctor has prescribed a series of tests along with the HbA1c, you might need to undergo fasting. If you have booked these tests with PharmEasy, you will get the necessary information for preparation.
During the HbA1c Test
A vaccinated phlebotomist will arrive at your doorstep to collect the HbA1c blood sample. They will use a new testing kit and sterilised syringes to draw a small sample from a vein in your arm, which will be stored in an icebox. Strict guidelines will be followed to ensure your comfort and safety. The entire process will take just 5-10 minutes.

What is the HbA1c test price in Saharanpur?
