A glycated hemoglobin test measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. The test is often called HbA1c. It’s a simple blood test used to:

• Detect prediabetes — high sugar levels that can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
• Diagnose diabetes.
• Tell how well a person with diabetes has been managing the disease.

This is a common test, used to Diagnose & monitor Diabetes mellitus.
