The HbA1C test is an important part of a routine checkup that helps detect the following:

• Prediabetes: This is a medical condition in which the blood sugar levels of the individual are high but are not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes: This is a medical condition in which the pancreas does not produce insulin, resulting in an increase in blood sugar levels
• Type 2 diabetes: This is the kind of diabetes in which the body does not produce sufficient insulin or is resistant to insulin

Your doctor may recommend that you undergo the HbA1C test if they notice any symptoms of diabetes or prediabetes. These symptoms can be:

• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Blurry vision
• Tingling feeling in hands and legs
• Lethargy
• Hunger pangs
• Slow healing wounds

This test is also prescribed to people who are at risk of getting diabetes. These factors include:

• Family history of diabetes
• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Diabetes during pregnancy
• People older than 40 years

For a fasting blood sugar test it is important that you abstain from consuming any food or beverages, with the exception of water, for a period of 8 to 12 hours. PharmEasy labs will specify the duration of the fasting period beforehand.

During the FBS Test

Once the FBS test has been booked, a trained phlebotomist will visit the location at the specified time. They will collect the blood sample using sterilised needles and gloves. The phlebotomists also use a special device called a vein finder, to locate the best vein to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The blood is stored in barcoded vials and safely transported to the laboratory for testing.
