What is an HbA1c Blood Test?
The HbA1c Blood Test is a simple and essential tool for measuring your average blood sugar levels over the past three months. Unlike daily glucose monitoring, which provides a snapshot of your blood sugar, the HbA1c test gives a long-term overview of your blood sugar levels.
Why is the HbA1c Test Important?
How does the HbA1c Blood Test work?
There’s more to health than victories on the scale. HbA1c measures your average blood glucose levels over the past three months by looking at the percentage of hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) coated with sugar (glucose).
The HbA1c level is a percentage; higher percentages indicate higher blood glucose levels and a greater risk of diabetes-related complications. Evidence shows you can improve your HbA1c by following an approach like the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program.
Step 1: Benchmark your blood glucose level
Before beginning the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program or starting a low carb approach, check your starting HbA1c at one of more than 2,000 participating collection centres nationally.
Step 2: Track your progress
After three months of following a low carb eating plan like the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program, use your second referral to measure your HbA1c again to gain medical proof of your progress.
What do the results mean?
Results are sent privately and securely to your digital Defeat Diabetes account.

The HbA1c blood test was quick and easy. My test result was high (7.2%) so I'm curious to see how low carb can shift the dial in another three months.

Thanks to this test, I realised my HbA1c levels were higher than I thought. With the Defeat Diabetes program I now have a plan to lower it and feel more in control.
