Know About HbA1c – A Key Test for Diabetes Management
At Primex Healthcare & Research, we believe that awareness is the first step to better health. One of the most essential tests in managing and diagnosing diabetes is the HbA1c test.
What is HbA1c?
HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, reflects your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. It measures how much glucose is attached to your red blood cells. Unlike daily glucose tests, HbA1c gives a bigger picture of your blood sugar control over time.
Why is the HbA1c Test Important?
This test is used to:
Diagnose prediabetes and diabetes
Monitor long-term glucose control
Evaluate how well your diabetes treatment is working
What Do Your Results Mean?
Below 5.7%: Normal
5.7% – 6.4%: Prediabetes
6.5% or higher: Diabetes
Doctors usually aim for an HbA1c level below 7% in people with diabetes.
How is the Test Done?
It’s a simple blood test with no fasting required. At Primex, we ensure quick results and professional care.
How to Lower HbA1c?
With a balanced diet, exercise, medications, and regular monitoring, it’s possible to reduce high HbA1c levels and avoid complications.
