What Is an HbA1c Test?
The HbA1c test, also known as the Glycated Haemoglobin Test, measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. It does this by checking how much sugar (glucose) is attached to the haemoglobin in your red blood cells.
This test provides a long-term picture of your blood sugar control, unlike daily finger-prick tests that only show current levels. It is one of the most reliable ways to diagnose diabetes, monitor prediabetes, and track how well your treatment plan is working.
Results are given as a percentage:
- Below 5.6% is considered normal
- 5.7%–6.4% suggests prediabetes
- 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes
