HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) is a blood test that provides a snapshot of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, that has glucose attached to it. This test is crucial for managing diabetes as it helps assess how well blood sugar levels are controlled. A high HbA1c indicates poor blood sugar control and an increased risk of diabetes complications, while a lower HbA1c reflects better blood sugar management.

The Glucose Post Prandial (PP) 2 Hours Post Meal test measures blood sugar levels two hours after eating to assess how well the body processes glucose. 1 This test helps diagnose diabetes, prediabetes, and insulin resistance by evaluating the body's ability to handle a glucose load.
