Diabetes Test
What the Diabetes Blood Test checks
The Diabetes Blood Test measures HbA1c and blood glucose. HbA1c reflects average blood sugar control over the previous 2 to 3 months, while blood glucose gives a current blood sugar reading at the time of testing.
This test may be useful for blood sugar screening, monitoring known diabetes with appropriate support, or discussing symptoms and risk factors such as increased thirst, tiredness, family history, or lifestyle factors with a healthcare professional.
Biomarkers included
