Understanding HbA1c
Know More About This Test
HbA1c measures the average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It reflects how much glucose is attached to hemoglobin and is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. Unlike fasting sugar tests, HbA1c is not affected by daily fluctuations.
Why Is This Test Recommended?
HbA1c testing is recommended to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes, monitor long-term glucose control in diabetics, adjust diabetic treatment plans, and assess complication risk such as heart disease, kidney damage, and neuropathy. It is particularly important for diabetics, overweight individuals, and those with family history of diabetes.
What Do the Results Indicate?
Normal levels are <5.7%. Prediabetes is indicated by levels of 5.7–6.4%. Diabetes is diagnosed at â¥6.5%. Higher HbA1c means poorer glucose control and correlates with increased risk of heart disease, kidney damage, and neuropathy.
How Is the Test Performed and Prepared For?
A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm. No fasting is required. Continue your regular medications as usual. The test measures glucose attached to hemoglobin over the past 2-3 months.

Every 3 months in diabetics; those with stable control may test every 6 months, while those adjusting treatment need more frequent monitoring.Can lifestyle lower HbA1c?
