  • Monitor the average sugar level in blood for the past 3 months.
  • Diagnose symptoms of high or low blood sugar, such as increased thirst, dizziness, or chronic fatigue.
  • Monitor your glucose levels if you're on long-term medication that can impact sugar metabolism.

How To Use The Home Test Kit

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is HbA1c and why is it important?

HbA1c measures how much glucose is attached to your red blood cells, giving a
long-term view of blood sugar levels.

Do I need to fast for this test?

No — unlike a regular glucose test, HbA1c doesn’t require fasting.

Can this test diagnose diabetes?

Yes. It is one of the key diagnostic tools used by healthcare professionals to
identify diabetes and prediabetes.

How often should I test?

If you're healthy, once per year. If you’re managing diabetes, every 3–6 months
or as recommended by your doctor.

Can I take this test while on medication?

Yes. It’s an excellent tool for tracking how well your treatment is working.

What are the symptoms of high glucose levels?

Symptoms of high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) may include increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, fatigue, and slow-healing wounds. If left unchecked, high glucose levels can lead to serious health issues like nerve damage or kidney problems.

What are the symptoms of low glucose levels?

Low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) can cause dizziness, shakiness, sweating, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and even fainting. It's essential to identify and manage low glucose early with a proper blood glucose test.

What are the causes of hypoglycemia?

Hypoglycemia can result from an underactive thyroid, adrenal gland disorders, liver or kidney disease, too much insulin, or intense physical activity. It may also occur due to diabetes medications, malnutrition, or rare conditions like insulinoma.

What can increase blood sugar levels?

Blood sugar levels may rise due to an overactive thyroid, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and physical or emotional stress can also elevate glucose levels.

How to Check HbA1c at home?

By ordering a home blood sugar test kit, you can conveniently check your glucose levels by simple finger-prick testing. Just prick your middle finger with a pricker and collect the drop of blood in a test strip. Seal the test tube as instructed in the provided manual and return it to the blood test clinic where you placed your order.
