Diabetes Test (HbA1c)
GetTested’s HbA1c Test measures the level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in a blood sample. This biomarker provides an indication of the average blood glucose level over the past three months.
For continuous glucose monitoring, we also offer our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which records glucose values in real time over a two-week period. Another useful complement is the Diabetes Test (Ketones & Glucose), which analyses both glucose and ketone levels to provide a broader picture of the body’s glucose balance.
HbA1c Diabetes Test – for the assessment of long-term blood glucose levels
HbA1c, also known as glycated hemoglobin, is used to estimate the average blood glucose level over the past three months. Since the lifespan of a red blood cell is approximately four months, the HbA1c value provides a stable reflection of the body’s glucose balance over time.
GetTested’s HbA1c Test analyzes a blood sample for the qualitative detection of glycated hemoglobin. The test is used as an aid in assessing whether glucose levels are within or above the expected reference range.
HbA1c and its significance
Hemoglobin binds to glucose in the blood, and the proportion of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects the average glucose concentration. Elevated HbA1c values may indicate that blood glucose has remained high over an extended period, which is relevant when evaluating diabetes-related conditions.
Complementary tests
For continuous glucose monitoring, we also offer a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) that records glucose values in real time for two weeks. Alternatively, our Diabetes Test (Ketones & Glucose) analyzes both ketones and glucose, providing a broader overview of the body’s metabolic status.
For more detailed laboratory analysis, the Diabetes & Blood Sugar Test offers precise HbA1c measurements.
Note
The test is CE-marked and intended for professional use within healthcare.

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 Europe. 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.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

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.
