You are also likely to be prescribed a haemoglobin A1C blood test if you have the following symptoms, which could be warning signs of diabetes:

• Rapidly losing weight
• Frequent hunger pangs
• Blurred vision
• Dry skin
• Fatigue
• Slowly healing sores
• Tingling or numbing hands and feet
• Feeling the urge to urinate frequently

There is no special preparation that is needed for the HbA1c test. If your doctor has prescribed other tests on the same blood sample, you may be required to fast.
