Why Early Detection Matters
Prediabetes is a silent condition that often develops without noticeable symptoms. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have prediabetes, and most don’t even know it. If left untreated, it can progress to type 2 diabetes, increasing the risk of heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss.
The Hemoglobin A1C test, also called glycated hemoglobin test, is one of the most reliable ways to detect prediabetes early—long before symptoms appear.
What is the Hemoglobin A1C Test?
The Hemoglobin A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. Unlike a fasting glucose test, which only reflects your sugar levels at the time of the test, the A1C test provides a bigger picture of your blood sugar control.
Who Should Get Tested?
You should consider getting a Hemoglobin A1C test if you:
-
Are over 35 years old
-
Have a family history of diabetes
-
Are overweight or obese
-
Lead a sedentary lifestyle
-
Have high blood pressure or high cholesterol
-
Have experienced symptoms like fatigue, excessive thirst, or frequent urination
Even if you feel healthy, an annual screening is recommended if you have one or more risk factors.
Benefits of Early Detection
Detecting prediabetes early means you can take action to reverse or delay the onset of diabetes. Lifestyle changes like improving your diet, increasing physical activity, and losing excess weight can significantly lower your blood sugar levels and improve overall health.
