Can I detect diabetes early even if I don’t have symptoms? Yes, with the HbA1C test.
The hemoglobin A1c test is an essential tool for assessing your metabolic health. Unlike a spot glucose measurement, this test reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. Therefore, it’s a key test for detecting or monitoring conditions such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Why is this test so important?
- Detects the risk of diabetes early, even if you don’t have symptoms.
- Monitors the effectiveness of treatments if you already have a diagnosis.
- Evaluates your overall metabolic health, which is closely related to longevity, body weight, energy, and cognitive function.
Healthy values are typically below 5.7%, while results between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher may suggest diabetes.

A simple test can give you vital information about your long-term health. Schedule your checkup and take control of your metabolism today with personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and planning.
