Diabetes Test (HbA1c)

What is HbA1c?

HbA1c, also known as glycated hemoglobin, is a vital indicator to understand your average blood sugar level over the past three months. Unlike regular blood sugar tests, which provide only a snapshot, HbA1c offers a more comprehensive view of how your blood sugar has fluctuated over time. This is especially important as the lifespan of a red blood cell is approximately four months.

Why choose GetTested's HbA1C test?

With GetTested's HbA1C Diabetes Test, you can now easily monitor your blood sugar from the comfort of your home. Our rapid test requires only a small blood sample and provides results within 10 minutes. If you are experiencing symptoms of diabetes, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or vision problems, this test can give you a quick indication of whether your blood sugar levels are within the normal range.

A unique feature of our HbA1C test is its focus on measuring the amount of glycated hemoglobin in your blood. A result below 6% is considered within the normal range, while a result above 6% may indicate diabetes. This differs from our other diabetes test (also a rapid test), which measures glucose and ketone levels in urine, providing a different type of health information.
