Maintaining the right blood sugar levels is essential to your health. Consistently elevated blood sugars can increase your risk of heart disease, kidney damage and stroke.
This package measures the sugars within your body, including HbA1c levels. The HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) test measures your average blood sugar level over an extended period (8-12 weeks) and is a useful tool for both detecting and/or monitoring diabetes.
It also includes a set of screenings commonly ordered at an annual health visit, including cholesterol and lipids, calcium, electrolytes, as well as liver and kidney function. The results of these tests can help you assess your overall health.
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, this blood test can help you and your healthcare provider monitor aspects of your condition and make lifestyle and diet changes accordingly.
