What is Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)?

Unlike fasting or random glucose tests, HbA1c gives a long-term picture of blood glucose control.

সহজ ভাষায় বললে, HbA1c টেস্ট দেখায় গত ২–৩ মাসে আপনার রক্তে চিনি (glucose) গড়ে কতটা ছিল। এই কারণেই ডায়াবেটিস রোগীদের জন্য এই টেস্ট অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।

Diagnosing Diabetes Mellitus

  • Identifying Pre-diabetes

  • Monitoring long-term blood sugar control

  • Assessing the risk of diabetic complications

কারণ, রক্তের লোহিত কণিকায় (RBC) থাকা hemoglobin এর সাথে glucose যুক্ত হয়ে glycosylated hemoglobin তৈরি হয়, যা প্রায় 120 দিন থাকে। তাই এই টেস্ট short-term fluctuation দ্বারা প্রভাবিত হয় না।


Doctors usually advise HbA1c test in the following situations:

  • Suspected diabetes

  • Routine diabetes screening

  • Known diabetic patients (every 3 months)

  • Poor glucose control symptoms

  • Family history of diabetes

  • Obesity or sedentary lifestyle

  • Pregnancy (special cases, with doctor advice)

Normal HbA1c Values and Interpretation

HbA1c (%)Interpretation
Below 5.7%Normal
5.7% – 6.4%Pre-Diabetes
≥ 6.5%Diabetes
< 7% (Diabetic patient)Good control
> 8%Poor control

⚠️ Higher HbA1c means higher risk of complications like kidney damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and heart disease.


How is HbA1c Test Done?

The procedure is very simple:

  • Sample: Venous blood sample

  • Fasting: Not required

  • Time: Can be done any time of the day

  • Method: HPLC / Immunoassay / NGSP-certified methods

এই পরীক্ষা safe, painless এবং দ্রুত সম্পন্ন হয়
