What is the HbA1c Test?
The HbA1c test, also known as Glycated Hemoglobin test, is an essential blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. Unlike daily glucose checks, it provides a long-term view of your blood sugar control, making it crucial for diabetes awareness, prevention, and management.
At Nayab Labs & Diagnostic Centre, our mission is to educate patients and create awareness about diabetes while offering accurate and reliable HbA1c testing.
Why the HbA1c Test is Important
The HbA1c test plays a vital role in raising awareness and managing diabetes by:
- Detecting diabetes early, even before symptoms appear
- Monitoring ongoing diabetes management effectiveness
- Identifying risk of complications like heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems
- Encouraging healthy lifestyle changes and preventive measures
- Providing convenient testing without fasting requirements
Normal HbA1c Range
Understanding your HbA1c levels is key to diabetes prevention and long-term health:
| HbA1c Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Below 5.7% | Normal – Healthy blood sugar control |
| 5.7% – 6.4% | Prediabetes – Early awareness recommended |
| 6.5% or higher | Diabetes – Seek medical guidance immediately |
For diabetic patients: Target HbA1c is usually below 7%, but goals may vary depending on individual health conditions.
