HbA1c blood test
- Free delivery
- Test arrives in 1-2 working days
- Results in as little as 48 hours
By checking your HbA1c levels regularly, you can understand your risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes tends to affect men earlier in their lives than women. But women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to increased insulin resistance.
This test might also be helpful if:
- you're over the age of 45 — your risk of diabetes increases with age
- you've had gestational diabetes in the past
- if you have a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes
- have other medical conditions — like heart disease, high blood pressure, PCOS, or high cholesterol
- you're carrying excess weight
- you're physically inactive
