Diabetes Test (HbA1c)
GetTested’s rapid test measures glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) to assess average blood sugar levels over the past three months. It provides a reliable indication of long-term glucose control, with results available in just 10 minutes.
If you’re looking for more continuous monitoring of your blood sugar, we recommend our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides real-time data and a more detailed view of your blood sugar levels over a 2-week period. Another option is to combine this test with our Diabetes Test, which measures both ketones and glucose, offering a fuller picture of your diabetic health. We also offer a Diabetes HbA1c lab test that will give you your exact HbA1c value, as opposed to the rapid test that will only tell if you are within reference value or too high.
What is HbA1c?
HbA1c, also known as glycated hemoglobin, is a vital indicator to understand your average blood sugar level over the past three months. Unlike regular blood sugar tests, which provide only a snapshot, HbA1c offers a more comprehensive view of how your blood sugar has fluctuated over time. This is especially important as the lifespan of a red blood cell is approximately four months.
Why choose GetTested's HbA1C test?
HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, reflects average blood sugar levels over the past three months. Unlike regular blood sugar tests that show a single point in time, HbA1c provides a broader picture of glucose control. This is particularly relevant as red blood cells have a lifespan of approximately four months.
This HbA1c test specifically measures the amount of glycated hemoglobin in the blood. A result below 6% is considered normal, while levels above 6% may indicate diabetes. Unlike glucose and ketone urine tests, which provide a different type of health information, this test offers insight into long-term blood sugar control.
For a more comprehensive analysis
GetTested also offers a laboratory-based Diabetes Test HbA1C, providing a precise measurement of HbA1C levels for a deeper insight into long-term blood sugar control. Additionally, a rapid Diabetes test is available to measure glucose and ketones.
Quick and reliable testing
This HbA1C test offers a simple and effective way to monitor blood sugar levels. It provides valuable information for assessing diabetes risk and supporting proactive health management.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
