HbA1c Test: Your 3-Month Blood Sugar Report Card

What is an HbA1c test?

HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) measures the average amount of sugar attached to your red blood cells over roughly the past three months. Because red blood cells live for about that long, this test gives a much broader picture of blood sugar control than a single fasting or random sugar test.

Who should get this test?

• People with a family history of diabetes
• Anyone experiencing excessive thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained fatigue
• People who are overweight or over the age of 40
• Those already diagnosed with diabetes, to monitor long-term control
• As part of a routine annual health checkup

How is it different from a regular sugar test?

A fasting or random blood sugar test shows your sugar level at that exact moment, which can be affected by what you ate or your stress levels that day. HbA1c smooths out those day-to-day fluctuations, making it a more reliable indicator for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.
