HbA1c Test
Take control of your health with a clear starting point.
Measuring long-term blood sugar with an HbA1c test is one of the most important checks you can make to understand what your current diet and lifestyle mean for your health over time. The test measures your average blood sugar level over the past three months, reflecting the impact of everyday food and lifestyle choices.
Keeping average blood sugar within a healthy range is important, because elevated levels may indicate that the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar with insulin is reduced. Over time, this can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and affect many parts of the body, including the eyes, nerves, and blood vessels.
The good news is that your health is in your hands. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, the World Health Organization recommends:
- maintaining a healthy body weight
- staying physically active, with at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every day
- eating healthily and limiting sugar and saturated fats
- avoiding tobacco, as smoking can increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Blood sugar changes happen gradually, so even if your HbA1c result is good today, your diet and lifestyle may still suggest changes in the future. That’s why we created our own HbA1c test: to give you a clear baseline for your health journey.
