    What should I avoid before taking an HbA1c test?

    You do not need to avoid anything specific before taking an HbA1c test, as it doesn’t require fasting or any special preparation. You can eat and drink as usual, and take your regular medications. However, it’s a good idea to inform your doctor about any recent health changes, such as illness or adjustments in medication, which could impact your blood sugar levels. Certain conditions like anaemia, recent blood loss, or blood transfusions can affect the test results, so it’s important to disclose this information to your healthcare provider.
