What is the HbA1c test?

Hemoglobin A1C is an essential test for diabetes. Hemoglobin in our blood gets attached/coated with sugar from the bloodstream by a process called glycation and forms a substance called Hemoglobin A1C or Glycosylated Hemoglobin. When the blood sugar levels are high, more hemoglobin attaches to it and this tells you how well your blood sugar has been controlled in the past three months. This test helps to determine if you are diabetic or not.

This test indicates the average hemoglobin exposed to glucose over an extended period and provides the clinical importance in monitoring the blood glucose level for the previous 3 months(history). HbA1c is used as an indicator of metabolic control of the diabetes.

What is the HbA1c test used for?

The hemoglobin A1C test, or glycated hemoglobin test or glycosylated hemoglobin, is a simple blood test that measures the average level of glucose in the blood over the last 3 months. It does not reflect daily fluctuations, so it’s a better measure of overall control than other tests. When your average blood sugar levels are consistently high over time, hemoglobin A1C will also be high.

What is included in an HbA1c test?

The hemoglobin A1C test, or glycated hemoglobin test, is a simple blood test that measures the average level of glucose in the blood over the last 3 months. It is not affected by the daily food intake or sugar fluctuations, so it’s a better marker for diabetes. When your average blood sugar levels are consistently high over time, more glucose is attached to hemoglobin, leading to high hemoglobin A1C.

When hemoglobin A1C is high, you need to consider making serious changes to your lifestyle by including exercise and diet.

A hemoglobin A1C is also ordered by your doctor to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes.

What is the HbA1c test procedure?

To measure hemoglobin A1C, a blood sample needs to be obtained. You can order the Hba1c test at the comfort of your home by just downloading the MFine app or just by booking this test on the website at your convenient time. Your Blood Sample is collected and taken to the pathology lab for testing.

The Lab technician uses gloves, single-use needles to draw the blood sample:

To draw the sample, a technician would locate the vein by wrapping a band.
Then, a needle is inserted into the vein and a small tube called a catheter is attached. This tube will stay in place until the procedure is finished.
The phlebotomist inserts a needle into the patient’s vein and draws blood into a vial.
Post the blood sample collection, the band is removed.
After the injection, you will need to hold a small piece of cotton over the site until bleeding stops. A small bandage will be applied to keep the cotton in place.

The procedure is very easy and painless for most people. There may be a slight pinch when the needle is inserted, but it doesn’t hurt much. The blood sample is sent to a laboratory for performing the HbA1c test.

A person with diabetes has hemoglobin A1C of 7% or less. HbA1c Levels less than 7% have a lower risk of complications associated with diabetes such as kidney disease, eye problems and nerve damage. Take the test results and show them to your doctor to understand the values and their significance and medications if required, will be given.

What type of infections can the HbA1c test detect?

HbA1C test is used to diagnose diabetes and monitor the progress of treatment. The A1C test provides an average of blood glucose levels over approximately the last 3 months. It is used to diagnose diabetes, and to monitor Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. A1C forms when hemoglobin in red blood cells (RBCs) interact with sugar in the blood. The more sugar there is in your blood, the greater the amount of A1C. This test is used for checking the average sugar level or control over a period of 2-3 months and is not useful for detecting Infections.
