HbA1c, Glycated Hemoglobin- Apollo

The HbA1c blood test measures your average level of blood sugar over the past 90 days. It is also called Glycated Hemoglobin because most monosaccharides (simple sugars), such as glucose and fructose, spontaneously bond with the haemoglobin to ‘glycate’. The higher the glucose levels in the blood, the more it sticks to or binds with the haemoglobin, and the higher is Glycated Hemoglobin or HbA1c level in the blood.
