HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, is a measure of average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. It's an important indicator of long-term blood sugar control and is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes.
Our at-home HbA1c test kit allows you to collect a small blood sample from the comfort of your own home using a finger prick. You then send the sample to our laboratory for analysis. The results are typically available within a few days.
This test kit is recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes, as well as those who may be at risk of developing these conditions. It can also be used by individuals who want to monitor their blood sugar levels for overall health management.
The frequency of testing depends on your individual health status and your healthcare provider's recommendations. Generally, individuals with diabetes may need to test their HbA1c levels every three to six months to monitor their blood sugar control.
Your sample is sent to a CLIA laboratory that meets strict quality standards for medical testing. However, it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the validity of the sample and the accuracy of the results.
