Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes HbA1c different from a regular glucose test?

HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over time, rather than a single moment, making it more useful for diagnosis and long-term monitoring.

Do I need to fast for this test?

No — this test can be taken at any time of day without fasting.

Can this test diagnose diabetes?

Yes — HbA1c is one of the key markers used to diagnose type 2 diabetes and
prediabetes.

Can I take this if I’m on diabetes medication?

Absolutely. This test is ideal for tracking how well your treatment plan is working.

How often should I repeat the test?

Every 3–6 months if you’re managing diabetes, or annually if you're monitoring
risk.
