HbA1c blood glucose test

Take responsibility for your future health today.

Knowledge is power. Gain insight into your personal health status and check whether your current lifestyle is sustainable or whether action is needed for lasting health. We analyze your long-term blood glucose levels in relation to your diet and general habits to guide you towards a future of wellness. The test includes an assessment of your lifestyle with personalized recommendations on diet, activities and exercise.

Take control - the first step is the test

Measuring long-term blood glucose through the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is one of the most important steps in checking how your current diet and lifestyle affect your long-term health. This test measures the average blood sugar level (blood glucose) over the past three months, which is highly dependent on our daily diet and lifestyle habits. It is crucial to keep the average blood glucose level at a normal level. Elevated levels may indicate that the body's ability to control blood glucose through insulin is impaired and that action is required. Elevated blood sugar levels can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes and over time can damage various body systems, such as the eyes, nerves and blood vessels.

The good news is that we are in control of our own health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), to prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should

• Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
• Be physically active, ideally doing at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days. More activity is needed to control weight.
• Eat a healthy diet, avoiding sugar and saturated fat.
• Avoid tobacco use, as smoking increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Changes in the body's ability to control blood sugar are a slow process. Even if an HbA1c test gives a good result today, diet and lifestyle can have long-term effects. That's why we have developed our own HbA1c test, which gives you a clear starting point for your health. It measures both your current long-term blood glucose levels and the impact of your current diet and lifestyle on your future health.
