Clinical Overview
HbA1c is a blood test that measures the proportion of haemoglobin in red blood cells that has glucose attached to it. Because red blood cells circulate for several weeks, HbA1c provides an estimate of average glucose exposure over approximately the preceding two to three months.
The test is widely used to monitor people with diabetes and contribute to the diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes.
