Please note results are usually within 48 hours

This test checks your levels of HbA1c. This biomarker is used to confirm whether you have (or are at risk of developing) diabetes. It is a potentially life-saving test and it is quite common for people have diabetes and not know about it. Unmanaged or undiagnosed diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality. For anyone who already knows they have diabetes, regular HbA1c checks are essential to monitor progress.

Our partner laboratory does not require you to fast for this test, although fasting may provide more accurate results. If you decide to fast do not eat 8-12hours before your appointment. Please remember to drink plenty of water beforehand as this will help the phlebotomist be able to get a blood sample from your vein.
