4 Things you Need to Know About HGbA1c Testing
- HbA1c testing is a blood test that measures the average blood glucose levels over a period of 2-3 months. This test is important for monitoring and diagnosing diabetes, as well as assessing the effectiveness of diabetes management.
- The HbA1c test is typically performed in a laboratory or clinic setting, and involves drawing a blood sample from a vein. Some newer devices may also allow for HbA1c testing using a fingerstick sample.
- HbA1c levels are reported as a percentage or as a value in mmol/mol. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a target HbA1c level of less than 7% for most adults with diabetes, although individual targets may vary depending on factors such as age and overall health.
- It's important to note that certain factors, such as anemia, recent blood loss, and certain medical conditions or medications, can affect the accuracy of HbA1c testing. Therefore, it's important to inform your healthcare provider of any such factors before undergoing the test. Additionally, it's important to have HbA1c testing done on a regular basis to monitor diabetes control and make any necessary adjustments to treatment.
