The Health Card HbA1c Test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months by evaluating glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the blood.
HbA1c is hemoglobin with glucose attached to it, so higher blood glucose levels result in higher HbA1c levels. This test is a reliable indicator of long-term blood sugar control and is commonly used for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.
1. Diabetes Diagnosis and Management: The HbA1c test is crucial for diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes. It also helps patients and healthcare providers monitor how well blood sugar levels are being managed over time.
2. Risk Assessment: HbA1c levels can indicate the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and kidney disease. Regular monitoring can reduce the risk of these complications by enabling proactive lifestyle and treatment changes.
3. Tracking Long-Term Control: Unlike daily blood glucose tests, the HbA1c test gives a broader view of blood sugar trends, helping patients and doctors make informed decisions about medication, diet, and lifestyle adjustments.
1. People with Diabetes: Those diagnosed with diabetes should undergo the HbA1c test regularly (often every three months) to monitor blood sugar control.
2. Individuals with Prediabetes or At-Risk Individuals: People with a family history of diabetes, obesity, or other risk factors may benefit from regular HbA1c testing.
3. Patients Experiencing Symptoms of High Blood Sugar: Symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision could indicate elevated blood glucose levels and an HbA1c test can help in early diagnosis.
