About This Test

A private Diabetes HbA1c blood test to measure the HbA1c level in your blood to detect or monitor Type 2 diabetes

This test looks at the level of HbA1c in your body. HbA1c is a direct measurement of your average glucose levels in your bloodstream over the last 2 – 3 months. It is different to the self-check finger-prick blood sugar monitor, as this only provides a snapshot of your blood glucose levels at a particular time which can vary for example after meals or when fasting. 

This test is more accurate in diagnosing Type 2 diabetes or identifying pre-diabetes, and monitoring patients with Type 2 diabetes to make sure it’s well controlled. 

Diabetes is the number 1 cause of preventable sight loss and is responsible for 185 leg, toe or foot amputations each week.

Results are usually available within 24 hours from your appointment day. They will be available to view and download from your secure online account with a clinical comment from our medical team
