HbA1c
HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin) is a biomarker that reflects the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. It forms when glucose binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells and serves as a key indicator for long-term blood sugar control. Elevated HbA1c levels suggest poor glucose regulation and are commonly used to diagnose and manage diabetes.
Description
A high HbA1c level typically indicates that an individual’s blood sugar levels have been consistently above the normal range for a prolonged period. This can suggest uncontrolled diabetes or a need to adjust the current diabetes management plan. It also increases the risk of diabetes-related complications, emphasizing the need for effective blood sugar control.
For individuals with diabetes, testing HbA1c levels is typically recommended every 3-6 months. This frequency can vary based on the type of diabetes and how well it’s being managed.
HbA1c tests are a key component in diagnosing diabetes, as they reflect long-term glucose levels rather than short-term or daily fluctuations.
No, daily blood sugar tests provide immediate, short-term glucose levels, while HbA1c reflects the average blood sugar levels over a few months. Both are important for comprehensive diabetes management.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
