This is an important test which shows if your blood sugar levels are too high – an important indicator of Type 2 Diabetes, a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life by causing problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.

You may be feeling tired, need to urinate frequently, constantly feel thirsty, or have sudden, unexplained weight loss. Or may be suffering from some of the factors which can increase your risk of contracting diabetes – such as a sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, or if the disease runs in your family.

If you are already aware of your diabetes risk, this test will help with required ongoing monitoring to ensure your blood sugar levels are normal, a pre-diabetes or even diabetes level.

It is a vital part of an early-warning system or component of ongoing care.

HOW TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST AT HOME

AVOIDING COMMON ISSUES

INSUFFICIENT BLOOD

Warm your hands before you start. Stand up while collecting the blood. Hold your arm down so gravity does its thing. Gently milk your finger

DAMAGED BLOOD

Try not to squeeze too hard as it can damage the the blood cells. Use a new lancet on another finger to keep blood flowing naturally

BLOOD CLOTTING

Make sure you post your samples close to the time of collection. Avoid hot days and posting before a long holiday weekend

Full description

Type 2 Diabetes is a serious medical illness which can lead to heart and kidney problems. It is usually associated with an intolerance to sugar or insulin resistance.

The haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to your haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.

Red blood cells remain in your body for three months, so this test can give an accurate view of your average blood sugar level for the past few months and would be affected by recently eating a chocolate bar of having a sugary drink.

So this test can be used by anyone who is concerned that they may have the symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes (feeling tired, need to urinate frequently, constantly feel thirsty, or have sudden, unexplained weight loss) or suffering from some of the factors which can increase your risk of contracting diabetes (a sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, or if the disease runs in your family).

Additionally, it can be used by anyone already taking steps to monitor their diabetes risk to check the effect of lifestyle or diet changes on blood sugar levels.
