What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, or a family history of diabetes. It also helps if you're overweight, over 45, or have been told your blood sugar is borderline high. The panel gives you a clear picture of your average blood sugar control and diabetes risk over the past few months.

What's included in this test?

This panel centers on HbA1c, a marker that reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months rather than a single snapshot. Because it isn't affected by what you ate that day, it gives a more reliable picture of long-term blood sugar control and diabetes risk than a one-time glucose check.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each value's normal range clearly explained. If your blood sugar levels are elevated, simple next steps include cutting back on refined carbs and sugary drinks, increasing physical activity, and retesting in 3 months if control is poor or every 6 months if stable, per ADA guidance. If a result is dangerously high, seek medical care right away. The standard lab report is downloadable from your account, and you can track your results over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support healthy blood sugar levels?

Cutting back on sugary drinks, white bread, and processed snacks can make a real difference in blood sugar control. Regular movement, like a 30-minute walk after meals, helps your body use sugar more efficiently. Getting enough sleep and managing stress also play a role, since poor sleep and high stress can raise blood sugar over time.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. You'll get a notification as soon as they're posted, and you can log into your account anytime to view the full report and see what each value means for you.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with a family history of diabetes, who is overweight, over 45, or has symptoms like frequent thirst or fatigue should consider this test. It's also useful if you've had borderline blood sugar results before and want to track changes over time. People already diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes can use it to monitor how well their current routine is working.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include feeling unusually thirsty, needing to urinate more often, feeling tired even after resting, blurry vision, or slow-healing cuts. Unexplained weight loss or gain can also be a signal. If you notice any of these along with a family history of diabetes, this test can help clarify what's going on.

What is HbA1c and why does it matter?

HbA1c measures the amount of sugar attached to your red blood cells, which builds up based on your average blood sugar over the past few months. It matters because consistently high blood sugar can quietly damage blood vessels, nerves, and organs long before you notice symptoms. Catching an elevated HbA1c early gives you a real chance to make changes before it turns into full diabetes.

What does a high HbA1c result mean?

A high HbA1c means your average blood sugar has been running higher than normal, which raises your risk for prediabetes or diabetes. It's a signal to look at your diet, activity level, and weight, since these are often the biggest levers for bringing it back down. Small, consistent changes like cutting sugary drinks and adding daily movement can meaningfully improve this number over a few months.

How often should I retest?

If your blood sugar control is stable and in a healthy range, retesting twice a year is generally enough, following ADA guidance. If your levels are elevated or you're actively making lifestyle changes, retesting every 3 months gives a better picture of whether those changes are working. Use the trends feature in your account to see how your numbers shift between tests.
