HbA1c Test: A special test to check your blood sugar level for the last 3 months

Sugar in the blood is called glucose. When glucose builds up, it binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. The HbA1c test measures how much glucose is bound. Red blood cells live for about 3 months, so the test shows the average level of glucose in the blood for the past 3 months.

If one’s glucose levels have been high recently, the hemoglobin A1c test will be higher. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate that there is a higher chance of getting diabetes. Levels of 6.5% or higher mean that the candidate has diabetes.

We are grateful to our support partners, who are allowing us to administer these tests. To register, please fill in the necessary information below.

On this World diabetes day, Aster Volunteers is committed to helping people offering free Diabetes screening and HbA1c tests to create awareness and promote early screening. HbA1c is considered to be a benchmark test for diabetes and is an expensive test.
