The HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months and is essential for diagnosing and managing diabetes.

How often should I get an HbA1c test?

Most adults should have the test at least once a year, but your doctor may recommend more frequent testing if you have diabetes or are at high risk.

HbA1c levels indicate long-term blood sugar control: normal is below 42 mmol/mol, prediabetes is 42–47 mmol/mol, and diabetes is 48 mmol/mol or higher.
