Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide, it is imperative to understand the importance of regular blood sugar monitoring. The HbA1c blood test is a key diagnostic tool that enables people to track their blood sugar levels over time, thereby ensuring timely intervention.

Unlike other HbA1c tests, you can book the Exclusive HbA1c package, which includes two HbA1c tests. This cost-effective option is ideal for families as it can cover blood sugar checks for two family members. 

 

The HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar levels over the past three months. Upon completing the first Exclusive HbA1c test, you’ll receive a coupon code. To book the second HbA1c test for free, add the generic HbA1c test to your cart and apply the coupon code at checkout.

What is the Exclusive HbA1c package price?

While the HbA1c blood test is usually affordable, this exclusive package allows you to save even more money while prioritising your health. With two tests included in one package, with Exclusive HbA1c you can ensure optimal health without spending too much money.

What is an HbA1c test?

The HbA1c blood test, also known as a glycated or glycosylated haemoglobin test, is commonly used to measure the amount of glucose attached to haemoglobin in the blood. Haemoglobin (Hb) is a protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Essentially, this test provides an average of blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, making it crucial for early diagnosis of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 

Which Tests Are Included in Exclusive HbA1c Package?

An HbA1c blood test consists of two primary components: the HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) and the Estimated Average Glucose (EAG). Both of these tests provide essential information about your long-term blood sugar control.

 

1. HbA1c, Glycated Haemoglobin: This is a fundamental aspect of the HbA1c blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It assesses the amount of glucose attached to the haemoglobin in your red blood cells. This information is crucial not only for diagnosing diabetes but also for monitoring its progression and guiding treatment plans.

 

2. Estimated Average Glucose (EAG): The estimated average glucose, or EAG, offers further insight into the average levels of blood sugar over a similar period, typically 2 to 3 months. Derived from the results of the HbA1c test, it provides a broader perspective on blood sugar control compared to daily glucose readings. It helps translate complex HbA1c percentages into easily understandable average blood glucose levels.

Decoding HbA1c test Report

Comprehending the range and parameters of the HbA1c blood test is crucial for the early detection of diabetes. Here’s how you can interpret your HbA1c test report: 

Range

HbA1c Normal Value: Below 5.7%
Prediabetes: Between 5.7% to 6.4%
Diabetes: 6.5% and above

What do high values indicate?

An elevated result in your HbA1c blood test indicates potential diabetes or poorly managed glucose levels, requiring prompt intervention. It may indicate: 

  • Uncontrolled or poorly managed diabetes (over 7%)
  • Prediabetes (range between 5.7% and 6.4%)

What do low values indicate?

Low HbA1c levels don't always signify positive health outcomes. Excessively low levels could indicate a heightened risk of hypoglycaemia or other health issues, such as:

  • Excessive dietary restriction
  • Overuse or misuse of antidiabetic medications
  • Medical conditions such as haemolytic anaemia or haemorrhage

Preparing for an HbA1c test

Preparing for an HbA1c blood test simply entails collecting a standard blood sample, which poses minimal risks and can be done at any time of the day.

How frequently should you undergo an HbA1c test?

The frequency of the HbA1c blood test can vary depending on individual health circumstances, treatment plans, and other risk factors.

  • Diabetic Individuals: If your blood sugar levels are within your target range, it's recommended to have the HbA1c blood test twice a year. However, if your blood sugar levels fluctuate or are not within the desired range, it's advisable to undergo this test four times a year.
  • Prediabetic Individuals: If you're prediabetic, it's advised to get an HbA1c blood test at least once a year. 
  • Pregnant Individuals: Pregnant women should check their HbA1c levels every 3 months to ensure optimal development and health of their unborn child.

What is the normal HbA1c level?

For people without diabetes, a normal HbA1c level falls below 5.7%. If your level is between 5.7% and 6.4%, you are considered prediabetic. An HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher on two separate tests may indicate diabetes.

What happens if HbA1c is high?

High levels of blood sugar test HbA1c indicate poor control over blood sugar levels. It may indicate a higher risk of developing diabetes-related complications such as kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, neuropathy, and retinopathy.
