MHE013 - HBA1C (GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN), WHOLE BLOOD Detail

HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) test measures the percentage of hemoglobin that is coated with glucose in the blood, using a whole blood sample. It reflects the average blood glucose level over the previous 2–3 months and is an important marker for long-term glycemic control.

This test is commonly recommended for the diagnosis and monitoring of Diabetes Mellitus, assessment of treatment effectiveness, and routine health screening in at-risk individuals. Higher HbA1c levels indicate poor blood sugar control and increased risk of diabetes-related complications, while controlled levels suggest effective management. Results are interpreted along with clinical findings and other glucose parameters for proper diagnosis and follow-up.
