HbA1c is one of the best indicators of pre-diabetes. Unlike regular glucose tests, which measure glucose levels only at the point the test is taken, HbA1c gives you a picture of your glucose levels over the past 2 – 3 months. This makes it one of the most efficient ways of accessing your risk of diabetes 2.
Not only do high blood glucose levels put you at increased risk of type 2 diabetes but it can also lead to excessive weight gain, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Our HbA1c check can be done using our simple at home finger prick blood test kit. It is a quick and efficient type 2 diabetes blood test for those concerned they may be at risk of developing diabetes or those who wish to monitor an existing condition.
A key benefit of taking our HbA1c finger prick blood test is to check whether you might be at risk of type 2 diabetes before you are a diagnosed type 2 diabetic. If your results indicate pre-diabetes, you’re then in a position to make the required dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of becoming diabetic. Once aware you can track the impact of changes you've made to improve it. If you are pre-diabetic and you’ve adjusted diet and activity, then this is a great way to track the improvement over time.
If you have already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, our lab-analysed HbA1c blood test offers you the convenience of collecting your sample at home and simply posting to our lab. Your results will be reviewed by one of our GP and your results will be made available through your online personal dashboard. Here you can track results over time, giving you a convenient way to monitor your condition.
