Standalone HbA1c
What Is the HbA1c Test?
The HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past 8–12 weeks. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Unlike a single glucose test, HbA1c provides a longer-term view of blood sugar control, helping assess how well your body manages glucose over time. It is an essential marker for individuals at risk of diabetes or those already managing the condition.
A private blood test can be useful as part of a wider health assessment or when you have been advised by a healthcare professional to check certain blood markers. The results can help identify changes in your blood profile that may require further assessment.
