Diabetes is a lifestyle-related condition. Globally, a staggering number of adults are living with undiagnosed diabetes, with almost 1 in 2 people, or 240 million, unaware of their condition. This highlights a dramatically escalating trend, as there has been a 380% increase in diabetes cases recorded over the last 25-year timeline. It is also a leading cause of cardiovascular issues, chronic kidney disease, vision impairments, and other various serious health complications.

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

The specific term for sugar in the blood is glucose. When this glucose accumulates, it naturally binds to the hemoglobin within your red blood cells. The function of the HbA1c test is to accurately measure the total quantity of glucose that is bound. Since red blood cells have a lifespan of approximately 3 months, this test effectively reveals the average glucose level in the blood over the past 3 months.

Consequently, a higher result on the hemoglobin A1c test indicates that the individual's glucose levels have been elevated recently. Specifically, a reading between 5.7% and 6.4% suggests a significantly higher chance of developing diabetes, while a level of 6.5% or higher confirms that the individual already has diabetes.
