HbA1c, is a measure of how much glucose has attached to haemoglobin in red blood cells. Since red blood cells live for approximately three months, this test reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 8 - 12 weeks, rather than standard single day testing.

The advantage is that HbA1c reflects longer-term trends in how effectively the body regulates and clears glucose. This makes it a more stable and clinically meaningful indicator of overall sugar control than a single day test alone.

This investigation is optional and may be used to verify the need for regulating blood sugar levels.

In the absence of testing, the treatment plan is tailored to address suspected contributors based on the presence of specific signs and symptoms and their degree of correlation with those contributors. If testing is undertaken, the assessment will be re-evaluated in accordance with the test results. You will be updated with the test results alongside any treatment revisions necessary.

HbA1C less than 5.7 indicative of normal glucose levels

HbA1C, 5.7 - 6.4, indicates impaired glucose tolerance

HbA1c > 6.4, indicates diabetes

Ideal HbA1c < 5.5
