What does the HbA1c test measure?

The HbA1c test measures your average blood glucose levels over the past 8–12 weeks by detecting glycated hemoglobin. It reflects your long-term blood sugar control.

Why test HbA1c levels?

Testing HbA1c helps assess your risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. It’s also used to monitor how well your glucose is managed over time — whether through lifestyle, diet, or medication.

Do I need to fast before the test?

No, fasting is not required. You can take the test at any time of day.

Who should consider taking this test?

Anyone with a family history of diabetes, those experiencing symptoms like fatigue, frequent urination, or increased thirst, or people monitoring metabolic health should consider testing.

Is the test suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Yes. The test is diet-neutral and suitable for all dietary lifestyles.

How is the sample collected?

The test uses a dried blood spot (DBS) card. You collect a few drops of blood from your fingertip.

How accurate is the HbA1c test?

The test is analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the clinical gold standard for measuring glycated hemoglobin.

What does the kit include?

The kit contains a DBS card, sterile lancet, clear instructions, prepaid return envelope, and a secure lab report.

When will I get my results?

Results are available 3–5 business days after your sample is received by the lab.

Description
What does it include?

The HbA1c Blood Test (Hemoglobin A1c) provides a clear picture of your average blood glucose levels over the past three months. Analysed in certified laboratories in Australia and Europe, this simple at-home dried blood spot test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in your red blood cells.

The HbA1c test is a trusted marker for assessing long-term blood sugar control and is commonly used to help identify or monitor diabetes and prediabetes. Maintaining healthy HbA1c levels supports metabolic balance, cardiovascular health, and overall wellbeing.

A typical healthy HbA1c result is below 5.7%. Levels above this threshold may indicate elevated blood glucose, suggesting impaired glucose metabolism or risk of diabetes. Discussing your results with a healthcare professional can help guide personalised strategies for diet, exercise, and lifestyle improvement.

With an easy finger-prick collection at home, your sample is analysed in our accredited labs in Australia or Europe, providing precise, clinically validated results to support your health journey.
