The HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months by checking the percentage of haemoglobin coated with sugar (glycated haemoglobin). It is the gold standard for monitoring diabetes control.
Unlike fasting blood sugar which shows the current level, HbA1c provides a long-term picture of blood sugar management. It is used both for diagnosing diabetes and for monitoring how well diabetes is being controlled.
No, fasting is not required for HbA1c. You can eat and drink normally before the test as it measures average sugar over 2-3 months, not current levels.
Below 5.7% is normal, 5.7-6.4% indicates pre-diabetes, and 6.5% or above indicates diabetes. For diabetic patients, a target of below 7% is generally recommended.
Every 3 months for diabetic patients whose treatment has changed or who are not meeting goals. Every 6 months for well-controlled diabetes. Once a year for screening in high-risk individuals.
