What is Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) in Bangalore?

Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels with a Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) test can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of current treatment methods and allow the doctor to make necessary adjustments to medications or lifestyles.

Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) consists of fasting blood sugar level and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) tests that help estimate blood sugar levels. The HbA1c test gives an overall picture of long-term blood sugar control (generally 2-3 months), whereas the fasting glucose test measures the blood glucose levels after overnight fasting. Hence, overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is recommended before undergoing Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) test.

A Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) test includes a glycosylated hemoglobin test and a glucose-fasting blood test. The glycosylated hemoglobin test measures the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood, while a glucose-fasting blood test measures the glucose level during fasting. Glucose is the main form of sugar utilized by the body to release energy; it is absorbed by the intestine and distributed to all organs through blood. These tests help your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes well.
