    How accurate is the HbA1c test for measuring blood sugar control?

    The HbA1c test is highly accurate for measuring long-term blood sugar control and is considered one of the most reliable methods for tracking diabetes management. It provides a clear picture of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. However, certain conditions like anaemia, kidney disease, or haemoglobin disorders can affect its accuracy. Despite these limitations, HbA1c remains a widely accepted tool for diagnosing and managing diabetes. If any underlying conditions are present, your doctor may use additional tests to get a complete understanding of your glucose control.
