HBa1c (Hemoglobin A1c)

The Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures average blood glucose levels over the past three months and is commonly used to screen for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. It serves as a reliable indicator of long-term glucose control and insulin sensitivity. HbA1c testing is especially useful for individuals with risk factors such as elevated blood pressure, excess body weight, or a sedentary lifestyle. Athletes and high performers may also use it to assess how efficiently their body is processing carbohydrates and managing metabolic demand over time.
