HbA1c + Glucose Fasting : Saving Combo in Vikhroli-east, Mumbai

HbA1c + Glucose, Fasting: Saving Combo 

This package combines two essential tests to detect and manage diabetes and prediabetes. The HbA1c, also Known as the Glycated Hemoglobin test, is a crucial test recommended by doctors to track blood sugar control in people with diabetes. It reflects your average blood sugar levels over a few weeks or months, unlike the regular blood sugar tests that provide information for just that moment.

The Glucose fasting test, also known as Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) test, determines the quantity of glucose, or sugar, in your bloodstream. Your body turns the carbohydrates you consume into glucose, which you can use for energy. Blood glucose levels that are very high or low may indicate a significant medical problem, such as diabetes. This combo package can be considered ideal for those who require to monitor their blood sugar levels periodically, 

What Tests Are Included In This Package?

Test 1 HbA1c 

Assess overall blood health to detect average blood sugar levels over several weeks. 

• HbA1c, Glycated Haemoglobin: This is the foremost part of the test and is used to measure the amount of sugar (glucose) attached to haemoglobin in your red blood cells. The higher the HbA1c, the greater your risk of developing complications from diabetes.
• Estimated Average Glucose (EAG): This component translates the HbA1c reading into a daily blood glucose level. It can give you an idea of what your average blood glucose level was for the past few months.

Reports may show the following values:

• HbA1c, Glycated Haemoglobin: Normal Range: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Estimated Average Glucose (EAG): Normal Range: 117–137 mg/dl    

Test 2 Glucose, Fasting

The test helps diagnose prediabetes, and diabetes and also helps monitor blood sugar control.

• Glucose, Fasting: Assesses blood sugar levels after an overnight fast (usually 8 hours).
• Random (non-fasting): A random glucose test, also referred to as an RBS (Random Blood Sugar) test measures the concentration of glucose in your bloodstream at any point during the day. This test plays a crucial role in screening for diabetes and also serves as a routine monitoring tool for individuals already diagnosed with diabetes.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): is a two-hour post-prandial test that is conducted following the consumption of food or liquid. These post-meal tests can demonstrate how effectively a person with diabetes is controlling their blood glucose levels 

The range of Glucose, Fasting tests includes:

• Glucose, Fasting: Normal Range: 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) -100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L).
• Random (non-fasting): Normal Range: 70-140 mg/dL
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Normal Range: <140 mg/dL; 140-199 mg/dL indicates impaired glucose tolerance;  ≥200 mg/dL indicates diabetes
