Glycated haemoglobin (Hb1c)

HbA1c GLYCATED HAEMOGLOBIN – 3 Months Average Diabetes Test on Automated Analyzer – Ayiconda Medical Lab Techiman

What is HbA1c?
HbA1c shows your average blood sugar for the past 2-3 months – Not just today. Unlike FBS/RBS which changes daily, HbA1c cannot be cheated by fasting one day. This is why doctors use HbA1c to diagnose diabetes and check if treatment is working.
