This test is recommended to diagnose Gestational Diabetes in pregnant women who screen positive with 50 gm Glucose challenge test. At least two values must meet or exceed the stated reference value for a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes mellitus (Fasting >95 mg/dL; 1 hour >180 mg/dL; 2 hours > 155 mg/dL; 3 hours>140 mg/dL). If results are normal in clinically suspected cases, test must be repeated in the third trimester.

HbA1c, also known as Hemoglobin A1c or A1c, is glycosylated hemoglobin or glycohemoglobin in which the glucose molecule present in the blood non-enzymatically binds to hemoglobin. HbA1c test reflects those RBC that are present in the blood at the time of test and measures average blood glucose concentration over 3-4 months. This gives an indication of long-term blood glucose control which serves as a regular monitoring tool if a person has been diagnosed with diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association, this test is mandatory for diabetic patients and should be performed four times a year. HbA1c test is available at a discounted rate, along with the home collection
The hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test measures the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the past two to three months. It’s a blood test that helps diagnose type 2 diabetes and monitor blood sugar levels for people with diabetes.
How it works
The test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells
The higher the blood sugar level, the more glucose attaches to hemoglobin
The test result is reported as a percentage
When to get tested
The CDC recommends that adults 45 and older get a baseline test
People with diabetes should get tested at least once a year
If you have prediabetes, you should get tested as often as your doctor recommends
What the results mean
A normal A1C level is below 5.7%
A result of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes
Why it’s important
The HbA1c test is an important indicator of how well diabetes is being managed
It can help with treatment decisions
