The HbA1c blood test measures your average level of blood sugar over the past 90 days. It is also called Glycated Hemoglobin because most monosaccharides (simple sugars), such as glucose and fructose, spontaneously bond with the haemoglobin to ‘glycate’. The higher the glucose levels in the blood, the more it sticks to or binds with the haemoglobin, and the higher is Glycated Hemoglobin or HbA1c level in the blood.
One of the reasons why the HbA1c test is done is to know whether a person is prediabetic or prone to diabetes. Accordingly, the person can take appropriate action to prevent diabetes to a certain extent; this includes measures like reducing fat and sugar intake, exercising regularly, and losing weight . No matter whether you are prediabetic or diabetic, knowing the HbA1c test range is a must. You can book the test via Apollo 24|7 for accurate and reliable test reports. The HbA1c test price offered by Apollo 24|7 is also very affordable.
