Why take this test?

If you are concerned that you might have diabetes, this is a great test to do. It is a more accurate way of looking at overall trends and averages compared to a snapshot blood glucose level, which can sometimes be falsely reassuring. It can tell you whether your average sugar levels are normal, pre-diabetic (i.e. raised and at risk of developing diabetes) or diabetic.

Why do a diabetes test?

Symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and recurrent infections. You may be at increased risk of developing diabetes if you are overweight or have a family history of the condition.

This test measures something called HbA1C. This abbreviation refers to glycated haemoglobin – in other words, it is the amount of haemoglobin in your body (the part in the red blood cells that carries oxygen) that has sugar attached to it. We all have some sugary haemoglobin, but knowing how much there is tells us what the sugar levels in your blood are like generally. As red blood cells live around 3 months, this test gives us an average sugar level over the last 3 months.

“If you are concerned that you might have diabetes, this is a great test to do. It is a more accurate way of looking at overall trends and averages compared to a snapshot blood glucose level, which can sometimes be falsely reassuring. It can tell you whether your average sugar levels are normal, pre-diabetic (ie raised and at risk of developing diabetes) or diabetic.

It is worth knowing that there are certain instances where this test may not be appropriate. In particular, other conditions that affect your red blood cell or haemoglobin levels may interfere with the interpretation. Examples of when this wouldn’t be appropriate include: age <18 years old, pregnancy or within 2 months of being pregnant, if symptoms have lasted <2 months, haemoglobinopathies (eg thalassaemia), anaemia, or having had a recent blood transfusion. If you aren’t sure if this test is appropriate for you, I’d recommend speaking to your doctor.”
