    What is the HbA1c test and why is it important for blood sugar monitoring?

    The HbA1c test measures average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months by evaluating glycated haemoglobin in the blood. It’s an essential test for diagnosing diabetes and tracking long-term blood sugar control. Regular HbA1c tests help manage diabetes more effectively and reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease and nerve damage. A higher HbA1c level indicates poorly controlled blood sugar, which could mean a need for adjustments in diet, medication, or lifestyle to prevent diabetes-related complications.
