{"product_id":"hba1c-6006","title":"HbA1c","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) develops when haemoglobin, a protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body, joins with glucose in the blood, becoming ‘glycated’. For patients especially those with diabetes, this is important as the higher the HbA1c, the greater the risk of developing diabetes-related complications. In Australia it is said that 1-4 Australians over the age of 25 has pre-diabetes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutriPATH offer both a spot method and whole blood analysis in measuring HbA1c. This test is extremely important to assess in those that have already been diagnosed with diabetes. Red blood cells in the human body survive for 8-12 weeks before renewal, measuring HbA1c can be used to reflect average blood glucose levels over that duration, providing a useful longer-term gauge of blood glucose control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Routine Pathology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e EDTA (Fasting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e CI05.22.01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automated chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Business Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHbA1c\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon clinical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metabolic-Endocrine-and-Hormonal-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEndocrine and Hormonal Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiabetes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Other-Health-Conditions.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther Health Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFamily history of diabetes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInactive lifestyle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnhealthy lifestyle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cardiovascular-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCardiovascular Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeart disease\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Nutritional-and-Dietary-Symptoms.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNutritional and Dietary Symptoms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverweight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Respiratory-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRespiratory Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmoke cigarettes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/6006-%E2%80%93-GLYCOSYLATED-HAEMOGLOBIN-HbA1c.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/6006-Glycosylated-Haemoglobin-HbA1c.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
