Our Testing Services
HbA1c Testing
HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) is a simple test that shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Think of it as a “memory” of your blood sugar levels. While a regular blood sugar test is like a snapshot of one moment, HbA1c gives you the bigger picture of how well your body is managing sugar over time. This test can help you monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle changes and medications to manage your blood glucose.
This test is particularly important for:
- People monitoring diabetes
- Those at risk of developing diabetes
- Anyone wanting to understand their long-term blood sugar health
Lipid Testing
A lipid test looks at the fats in your blood, commonly known as cholesterol and triglycerides. These fats play important roles in your body, but having too much of certain types can affect your heart health. Understanding your lipid levels can help assess your risk of heart disease and help you formulate a diet and lifestyle plan to improve your health. This test can help you monitor the effectiveness of lipid lowering medications and lifestyle changes.
The test measures different types of fats:
- Good cholesterol (HDL) – helps protect your heart
- Bad cholesterol (LDL) – can build up in your arteries
- Triglycerides – another type of fat that affects heart health
Both tests are quick, convenient & reliable
