Best time to take HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) Test
HbA1c test results give us the necessary information to treat type-2 diabetes, as this test measures the amount of glucose attached to haemoglobin. For this test result to be considered normal the percentage value must be below 5.7% to indicate that the person is non-diabetic. If the result shows a value of 5.7% to 6.4% it indicates that the person is pre-diabetic. For a diabetic person, the threshold is 6.5% or higher.
Diagnosis of HbA1c Test
Hba 1c test does not require any of the specific preparations like any other blood tests, no fasting required before the test and you can eat and drink normally before the test. It is the simple test where they will take the blood sample from the Vein in your arm.
Parameters Considered During HbA1c Test
The HbA1c Test will measure the levels of Glycosylated Haemoglobin which is present in the blood, which will helps to know the average blood glucose that was present from the past two to three months. Haemoglobin is the protein that is found in red blood cells and will help in transporting oxygen. One of different types of Haemoglobin,is Haemoglobin A and the other is Haemoglobin Alc. When the RBCs are dead then they are replaced, Haemoglobin A1c is cleared and slowly replaced with non – Glycosylated Haemoglobin. Measurement of HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) level over some time gives an indication of the level of glucose in the blood over the specified period. This helps in diagnosis of the diabetes and is very useful for observing the effectiveness of the measure taken to reduce blood sugar levels.
