HbA1c Diabetes Test in Mohammed Bin Rashid City — FAQs
Do I need to fast for an HbA1c diabetes test?+
No — HbA1c does not require fasting. This is one of its key advantages over fasting glucose testing. You can eat and drink normally before the nurse visit.
What does HbA1c measure?+
HbA1c measures the percentage of haemoglobin in your blood that has glucose attached to it. Because red blood cells live for approximately 3 months, HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over that period — giving a much more reliable picture than a single fasting glucose reading.
What is a normal HbA1c level?+
A normal HbA1c is below 42 mmol/mol (or 6.0%). Pre-diabetes is diagnosed between 42-47 mmol/mol (6.0-6.4%). Diabetes is diagnosed at 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or above. Your British GP will interpret your result in the context of your symptoms, weight, family history and lifestyle.
How is HbA1c different from a fasting blood sugar test?+
A fasting glucose test measures your blood sugar at one point in time and requires you to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand. HbA1c measures your average blood sugar over 3 months and does not require fasting — making it more convenient and often more clinically informative for diagnosing diabetes and pre-diabetes.
I have no symptoms — should I still test my blood sugar?+
Yes — this is exactly the point. Type 2 diabetes often has no symptoms in its early stages. By the time symptoms appear, the condition has frequently been present for years and complications may have already begun. Annual HbA1c testing is recommended for anyone over 40, overweight, or with a family history of diabetes — even without symptoms.
What happens if my HbA1c shows pre-diabetes?+
Your British GP will call you to explain what pre-diabetes means and what you can do about it. Pre-diabetes is reversible — with the right lifestyle changes, the majority of people with pre-diabetes can bring their blood sugar back to normal without medication.
Can I get a diabetes blood test at home in Business Bay or Downtown Dubai?+
Yes — our nurse home visit service covers Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills and all major Dubai areas.
Is HbA1c testing included in the Aafiyah health check packages?+
Yes — HbA1c is included as standard in our 40+ marker health check panels. It can also be booked as a standalone test.
