What is an HbA1c test?
It measures the share of your haemoglobin that has glucose attached to it. Because red blood cells live about three months, the result reflects your average blood sugar over that time.

On WhatsApp & EmailThe HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) test shows your average blood sugar over the past two to three months, which is why doctors use it to diagnose and monitor diabetes. One blood sample, no fasting needed, report within 12 hours, processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. From 450. If your week is spent between meetings, this is a test that asks very little of your calendar: you can eat normally beforehand, and the sample can be taken at home in the evening or at an office address you give at booking. Home collection is available across Gurgaon, including Sector 56, Sector 49, Golf Course Road, Sohna Road, DLF Phase 3, Udyog Vihar and Manesar. Any collection charge is shown before you confirm.
What the HbA1c Test Tells You
At a Glance
Test: HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin). Result: A percentage, reported with an estimated average glucose. Price: From 450. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Blood, in an EDTA tube. Reports: Within 12 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Gurgaon; any charge is shown at booking. Lab: NABL-accredited.
What the Number Means
Glucose in your blood sticks to haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red cells live for about three months, so the share of haemoglobin carrying sugar reflects your average glucose over that period rather than a single moment. The report gives HbA1c as a percentage and an estimated average glucose (eAG) worked out from it.
A commonly used guide for adults is below 5.7% as normal, 5.7% to 6.4% as the prediabetes range, and 6.5% or above as the diabetes range. Your doctor reads the result alongside your symptoms and other tests, and the reference range printed on your report is the one to follow.
Why Doctors Order It
Common reasons are screening people with a family history of diabetes or extra weight, confirming a high fasting or post-meal sugar, and following people already diagnosed. For someone on treatment, doctors usually repeat it every three to six months to see whether the plan is working.
It Points, It Does Not Diagnose on Its Own
Conditions that change red blood cells can make HbA1c read higher or lower than your true average, including anaemia, recent blood loss or transfusion, and some inherited haemoglobin variants. If your result does not match your sugar readings, your doctor may ask for other tests. Please do not change medicines on the basis of a report alone.
Testing Around a Corporate Calendar
In Gurgaon, a check-up often gets postponed because it needs a morning off. HbA1c removes that excuse: no fasting, no preparation, and no trip to a lab. A sample can be taken at home after work or at an office address you give at booking, and the digital report is easy to forward to your doctor. If you are tracking your number every three months, booking the same weekday each time makes it easy to remember.
Related Tests
HbA1c shows the long-term average. If your doctor also wants to know how your body is making insulin, the Insulin-Fasting and C-Peptide tests are the usual companions, and the Advance diabetes package and Full Body Checkup with HbA1c bundle it with other tests. This booking is the HbA1c test only.
What Is Not Included
A fasting or post-meal blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, a kidney or lipid profile and a urine test are not part of this test. Please read the result with your doctor.

Who Should Get an HbA1c Test?
- Professionals in Gurgaon with a desk-bound routine – Long hours, irregular meals and little exercise raise diabetes risk. HbA1c needs no fasting, so it fits into a working day and can be done at home in the evening.
- Anyone with a family history of diabetes – A parent or sibling with diabetes raises your own risk. A yearly HbA1c is a simple way to spot a rising average early.
- People already managing diabetes – Doctors usually repeat HbA1c every three to six months. Digital reports make it easy to compare readings and share them with your doctor.
- Anyone with a high fasting or post-meal sugar – One high reading is not a diagnosis. HbA1c shows whether your sugar has been high over weeks, not just on one day.
- People with symptoms such as unusual thirst or tiredness – Frequent urination, constant thirst, blurred vision and slow-healing wounds can be signs of high blood sugar, among other causes. The test gives your doctor a number to work.
- Adults over 30 with extra weight – Weight around the waist is a common risk factor. A baseline HbA1c now gives you something to compare future results against.
How to Prepare
Fasting: Not required. Eat and drink normally.
Sample: One venous blood draw into an EDTA tube.
Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines, including diabetes medicines, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Tell your doctor if you have had a blood transfusion or heavy blood loss in the last few months.
Tracking your number: book at roughly the same interval each time, usually every three months, and keep earlier reports to hand.
Booking around work: choose an evening slot at home, or give an office address; there is no fasting window to plan.

How often should I repeat an HbA1c?
People with diabetes are usually advised to repeat it every three to six months. For screening, your doctor will suggest an interval based on your risk. Your doctor decides what is right for you.
Is HbA1c the same as a fasting sugar test?
No. A fasting sugar test shows your glucose at one moment. HbA1c shows your average over the past two to three months. Doctors often use both.
Can anaemia affect my HbA1c result?
Yes. Anaemia, recent blood loss or transfusion and some inherited haemoglobin variants can make HbA1c read higher or lower than your true average. Tell your doctor about these when you share your report.
Can I share the digital report with my doctor on a video call?
Yes. Reports are digital, so you can open or forward the PDF straight to your doctor.
Is the lab NABL-accredited?
Yes. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel. It is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself.
