Long-term blood sugar (HbA1c)

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an important biomarker for long-term monitoring of blood sugar levels in diabetics. It provides information about the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months and is therefore an important indicator for diabetes treatment and control. An elevated HbA1c level may indicate inadequate blood sugar management and increase the risk of diabetes complications.

1. What does the long-term blood sugar test measure?

The long-term blood sugar test measures the HbA1c value, which indicates the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. This is an important indicator for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.

2. Who is the long-term blood sugar test suitable for?

The test is suitable for people who want to monitor their blood sugar levels over the long term, especially if there is a suspicion of diabetes or to control existing diabetes.

3. How does the HbA1c test differ from a normal blood sugar test?

While a normal blood sugar test measures the current sugar level in the blood, the HbA1c test shows the average blood sugar value over the past 2-3 months, providing a more comprehensive picture.

4.How is the long-term blood sugar test conducted?

The test is performed through a simple blood sample, which you can conveniently take from home. Your sample is then sent to our laboratory for analysis.

5. How long does it take to receive my results?

The results are usually available within a few days on your personal Probatix-dashboard.

6. What are normal HbA1c levels?

A normal HbA1c level is typically below 5.7%. Levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate an increased risk of diabetes, while levels of 6.5% or higher may suggest diabetes.

7. How often should I check my HbA1c level?

It is recommended to regularly check your HbA1c level, especially if you belong to risk groups or have diabetes. The frequency should be discussed with your doctor.
