HbA1c testing
 
 
HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) is a measure of the amount of glucose attached to the body’s red blood cells; it is present in everyone. The level of HbA1c in your body rises and falls in line with your blood glucose – the higher your HbA1c, the more glucose is attached to your red blood cells.

Your HbA1c does not change rapidly because the red blood cells in your circulation last for around 3–4 months. Any increases and decreases in your HbA1c will happen over a period of at least 6 weeks. HbA1c used to be recorded as a percentage (%) and is now recorded as mmol/mol; blood glucose is recorded in mmol/L.

An HbA1c test is not the same as a blood glucose test.

Your HbA1c test may be done using a blood sample taken from your arm or from a finger prick test.
