Hba1C Test in Banglore
Regarded as one of the most basic tests for blood sugar, A hemoglobin A1C test is a blood test performed to determine your average blood sugar (glucose) levels. This test ideally calculates and examines the blood sugar levels for the past three months.
Glucose is one of the types of sugar present in your blood, formed by the food you eat. It is known that your cells use glucose to make energy, and a hormone called insulin helps glucose get into your cells. If you are diagnosed with diabetes, your body will either fail to produce enough insulin or, if it does produce insulin, it will not use it effectively, which means that glucose will not reach your cells, causing your blood sugar to rise. Your doctor may recommend an HbA1C test to measure the number of red blood cells containing glucose-coated hemoglobin so that early treatment can be planned according to your health condition.
Importance of the Hba1C Test
Ideally, the HbA1c test is not performed only once but is recommended every 3 to 6 months to examine the sugar levels and check the variations.
