HbA1c and fasting glucose test

HbA1c and Fasting Glucose Blood Test

For blood sugar monitoring when you want longer-term HbA1c and fasting glucose together, not one marker alone.

Checking blood sugar privately, or comparing HbA1c-only options? This venous diabetes panel pairs HbA1c with fasting glucose so short and longer-term markers sit in one order.

What’s included is simply those two markers. Results land in Console.

HbA1c retest only? See standalone HbA1c. Fasting insulin as a deeper add-on? See Fasting Insulin after this panel, not instead of it.

Turnaround time

Results typically land in 1–2 working days once the laboratory receives a usable sample. Most routine biomarkers are released the same or next working day, and each marker appears in Console as soon as it completes clinical validation, so you are not waiting for the slowest marker to see the rest.

A typical timeframe, not a guarantee: the clock starts at sample receipt, not at order or postage, and postal or transit delays can occasionally extend it.

FAQs

Why not buy HbA1c and glucose separately?
This panel keeps both markers in one order. Use the singles when you only need one retest.
Is fasting insulin included?
No. Fasting Insulin is a separate add-on after this panel, not a substitute for it.
Do I need to fast?
Yes. Fasting glucose is included, so fast for at least 8 hours with water only, even though HbA1c alone usually does not need fasting.
