Diabetes Test (HbA1c)
With GetTested’s HbA1C Diabetes Test, you can easily check your average blood sugar levels over time. This simple blood test assesses your glycated haemoglobin, providing a comprehensive indication of your blood sugar control over the past three months. Results are available in just 10 minutes.
If you’re looking for more continuous monitoring of your blood sugar, we recommend our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides real-time data and a more detailed view of your blood sugar levels over a 2-week period. Another option is to combine this test with our Diabetes Test, which measures both ketones and glucose, offering a fuller picture of your diabetic health. We also offer a Diabetes HbA1c lab test that will give you your exact HbA1c value, as opposed to the rapid test that will only tell if you are within reference value or too high.
What is HbA1c?
HbA1c, also known as glycated hemoglobin, is a vital indicator to understand your average blood sugar level over the past three months. Unlike regular blood sugar tests, which provide only a snapshot, HbA1c offers a more comprehensive view of how your blood sugar has fluctuated over time. This is especially important as the lifespan of a red blood cell is approximately four months.
Why choose GetTested's HbA1C test?
With GetTested's HbA1C Diabetes Test, you can now easily monitor your blood sugar from the comfort of your home. Our rapid test requires only a small blood sample and provides results within 10 minutes. If you are experiencing symptoms of diabetes, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or vision problems, this test can give you a quick indication of whether your blood sugar levels are within the normal range.
A unique feature of our HbA1C test is its focus on measuring the amount of glycated hemoglobin in your blood. A result below 6% is considered within the normal range, while a result above 6% may indicate diabetes. This differs from our other diabetes test (also a rapid test), which measures glucose and ketone levels in urine, providing a different type of health information.
For a more comprehensive analysis
If you're seeking a more detailed evaluation, GetTested also offers a lab test called the Diabetes Test HbA1C. This test provides an accurate measurement of your HbA1C level and offers deeper insights into your long-term blood sugar value. We also offer a rapid Diabetes test that measures glucose and ketones.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
