HbA1c (Glycosylated haemoglobin A1), EDTA Blood

HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) is a marker of the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months. The HbA1c test helps diagnose and monitor Diabetes, , as well as assess treatment effectiveness. HbA1c function: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) forms when glucose binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. HbA1c levels reflect how well blood sugar has been controlled over the past few months.
Test significance: The HbA1c test is used to diagnose Diabetes, and monitor its progression. Elevated HbA1c levels indicate high blood sugar over a prolonged period, increasing the risk of Diabetes, -related complications.
Diseases: High HbA1c levels are associated with poorly controlled Diabetes, and an increased risk of Cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and nerve complications.
