    Can I drink caffeine before taking an HbA1c test?

    Yes, you can drink caffeine before an HbA1c test. Since this test measures average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months, it’s not affected by short-term factors like your most recent meal or caffeine intake. Therefore, drinking coffee or tea before the test will not impact your HbA1c results. However, you should maintain your usual routine before the test so that the results reflect your typical blood sugar control. If you have any concerns about your habits affecting the test, discuss them with your healthcare provider.
