    Is it for me?

    Yes, if you’re at risk of diabetes. You’re at risk if you:

    Are Asian (even if under 40)
    Are Black (even if under 40)
    Are over 40
    Are overweight
    Have a family history of diabetes

    What's tested?

    This test checks whether you have diabetes or are at risk of developing it anytime soon.

    If you already have diabetes, regular monitoring of your HbA1c levels is vital in keeping track of your condition.
    Measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to the haemoglobin in your blood and gives you your average blood sugar level from the last 3 months.

    FAQs

     

    A normal HbA1c level is below 42mmol/mol. If your result is between 42-47mmol/mol, this is considered a high risk for diabetes. However, if you already have diabetes, an ideal HbA1c level is 48mmol/mol or below.

     

    Nope, no fasting needed! 

    Yes. You shouldn’t take this test if you:

    • are under 18
    • are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 2 months
    • have had symptoms of diabetes for less than 2 months
    • are at high risk of diabetes and are acutely ill
    • are taking medication that may cause hyperglycaemia (for example, long-term corticosteroid treatment)
    • have acute pancreatic damage
    • have end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
    • have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
    • have chronic haemolytic anaemia


    Talk to your doctor before taking this test. Being pregnant can have a noticeable impact on your results, so make sure to check in with your GP first.
