HbA1c, Glycated Hemoglobin

The HbA1c blood test, also known as Glycated Hemoglobin, is a crucial diagnostic tool provided by Hypro Diagnostics for evaluating average blood sugar levels over the past 90 days. This test assesses the spontaneous bonding of monosaccharides like glucose and fructose with hemoglobin, indicating prolonged exposure to elevated blood sugar. Elevated HbA1c levels suggest a higher affinity of glucose to hemoglobin, indicating potential diabetes or prediabetes. Monitoring HbA1c is essential for individuals with a family history of diabetes, diagnosed diabetics, or those identified as borderline diabetic or prediabetic. It is also beneficial for individuals experiencing recurrent infections, particularly skin and urinary tract infections, those with high cholesterol, and individuals carrying excess weight. Understanding your HbA1c status empowers you to take proactive measures, such as lifestyle modifications involving reduced fat and sugar intake, regular exercise, and weight management. Booking an HbA1c test through Hypro Diagnostics ensures accurate and affordable results, providing a comprehensive overview of your metabolic health.
