HbA1c means Glycated Haemoglobin. This tracks how much blood is associated with Haemoglobin. Generally, we collect 3 months of data within your body as the red blood cells last for that specific duration. Therefore, collectively when conducting the HbA1 test, we can measure the average amount of Blood Glucose lever for that period.

By completing this test, you will be able to discover whether you are at risk of developing type 2 Diabetes, whether your Diabetes has progressively declined or if your Blood Glucose levels have increased. If that is the case, then typically it prompts people to live a healthier lifestyle since they were able to check up on their levels and understand what their bodies are producing.

How to use

Before completing the test, wash and dry your hands. Start by removing the lid off the blood tube, then use the alcohol wipe provided within the kit to clean the tip of your fingertip. Once the area is cleaned, twist and pull the purple tip off the lancet, center the tip on your finger, and push done. This will ensure the fingertip is pricked and blood will start to release from that area. Apply some pressure to ensure a certain amount of blood is released from the finger into the tube. Continue to do this until you meet the line on the tube.

Once that’s done, push the cap back on the tube to avoid any contamination and apply a plaster to your finger. Place the blood tube back into the box and fill out any details on the form provided. Then all you must do is send it off with the pre-paid envelope and wait for your results.

Side effects & Caution

Typically, with test kits, you shouldn’t experience serious side effects as the process is quite simple to understand. However, if you do experience severe symptoms then be aware of the following factors: Headaches, sore throat, dizziness, swelling, bruises, nausea, etc. We are you to speak to your doctor directly if your symptoms are getting worse. They will be the best available help as they will ultimately understand what has happened and how to avoid any other side effects from occurring.

The main symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes are the following: blurred vision, fatigued, thrush infections, sporadic weight loss, numbness, dry eyes, persistent thirst, itchy skin, continuously needing to pee, and many more. If your Diabetes is too high then it may be a sign of a chronic condition that causes more health problems (including kidney disease, nerve damage, etc.) Keep in mind before undertaking an HbA1c test, you must maintain fasting before blood sampling.

The best way to change up your lifestyle is by doing regular exercise, eating healthy, avoiding fatty foods, and essentially sustaining a consistently healthier lifestyle that helps with your weight loss.

Only suitable for ages 18 and over.
