Blood sugar test (HbA1c)
Blood sugar test (HbA1c)
Your self-collection kit for determining long-term blood sugar levels.
With the Labdoc blood sugar test, you can easily have your HbA1c level determined at home – this provides information about your long-term blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. An elevated value can be an indication of existing diabetes mellitus or a precursor to it.
Diabetes mellitus is divided into type 1 and type 2. While type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and usually occurs in childhood, various risk factors are known for type 2 diabetes, which usually develops in adulthood.
Early detection of diabetes is important because insulin therapy can protect against many secondary diseases and prolong life expectancy.
With your blood sugar test, you can determine your blood sugar level independently and quickly from home. The self-collection kit contains collection material for a small blood sample from the fingertip, which is examined in our accredited diagnostic laboratory using immunological measurement. You will receive the laboratory result after just a few days.

Collapsible content
Do I have to avoid sugar at the time of the test?
The HbA1c value is also known as "blood sugar memory" and indicates the
average blood sugar level over the past 8 – 12 weeks before the measurement.
A temporarily elevated blood sugar level at the time of self-collection does
not affect the measurement.
What should I do if my test result is abnormal?
A test result is abnormal if the HbA1c value is elevated and outside the normal range. This may indicate existing diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition. Please consult your doctor with the test result; they will advise you and initiate further diagnostic steps if necessary.
What are the characteristics of the LabDoc test procedure?
Labdoc's testing procedure is characterized by its execution in an accredited diagnostic laboratory and complies with the requirements of the RiliBäk (Guidelines of the German Medical Association for Quality Assurance of Laboratory Medical Examinations). Our expert knowledge and the use of advanced analytical methods guarantee high reliability and accuracy of the test results.
