Monitoring your long-term blood sugar health has never been easier. The Newfoundland HbA1c Test measures your average blood glucose levels over the past 2–3 months, helping you understand your risk of diabetes or how well your diabetes is being managed – all from the comfort of your own home.
HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) is a form of haemoglobin in your blood that is chemically linked to glucose (sugar). Measuring HbA1c provides a reliable picture of your average blood sugar levels, making it a key marker for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes.
- Levels can rise when blood sugar remains consistently high.
- Early increases may indicate prediabetes - a warning sign before type 2 diabetes develops.
- Higher readings are associated with increased risk of diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney problems, and vision issues.
Diabetes risk - Detecting early signs of prediabetes.
Condition monitoring - Helping track how well type 1 or type 2 diabetes is being managed.
Lifestyle impact - Showing how diet, exercise, and weight changes affect long-term blood sugar control.
Medical assessment - Supporting healthcare professionals in diagnosing or adjusting treatment plans.
Below 42mmol/mol (6.0%) - Normal range
42-47 mmol/mol (6.0%-6.4%) - Prediabetes range
48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or above - Diabetes range
Not a diagnosis on its own - A single HbA1c result should be interpreted alongside other medical tests and clinical evaluation.
Influencing factors - Conditions affecting red blood cells (such as anaemia) may affect results.
Lifestyle matters - Diet, weight, exercise, stress, and alcohol intake can all influence HbA1c levels.
Seek medical guidance - Always consult your GP if your results fall outside the normal range or if you are experiencing symptoms of diabetes (increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, or weight changes).
