During an HbA1c test, a small blood sample is taken, usually from the arm, and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The test measures the percentage of hemoglobin with glucose attached, reflecting average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It helps diagnose diabetes and assess long-term blood sugar control.
