An HbA1C test is conducted every 2 to 3 months for diabetic patient in order to monitor their blood sugar levels. The increased glucose (or sugar in the blood) binds to the haemoglobin upon increasing and since the haemoglobin in our bodies is renewed every 2-3 months, the record of how much glucose is attached to the haemoglobin also lasts for this period. If there’s too much glucose attached to the haemoglobin cells, you’ll have a high A1C. If the amount of glucose is normal, your A1C will be normal.
Why is an HbA1C Test Performed?
This test could be recommended by your doctor as a part of a regular health checkup or diabetes monitoring. If you are showing diabetic symptoms or are obese, have high blood pressure, or a sedentary lifestyle, this test can be taken to avoid any potential problems.
This test is usually taken in the morning before you eat anything. It is recommended to not eat and drink anything for 8 to 10 hours before the test (water, however, works).
