Diabetes Test Basic
This home-to-lab test measures HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, which is a measure of average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, used as a marker for long-term glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It reflects the extent of glucose binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells, providing insight into overall glycemic management and risk of diabetes-related complications.
Higher HbA1c levels indicate poorer blood sugar management, increasing the risk of diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and neuropathy. Regular HbA1c testing helps patients and healthcare providers adjust treatment plans to achieve better glucose control and improve overall health.

General FAQs
Home-to-lab testing allows individuals to collect samples comfortably at home. The main advantages of home sampling include convenience, privacy, and accessibility, as individuals can perform the tests at their own convenience.
Once the sample is collected, it is sent to our laboratory for analysis from anywhere in the world. You will be notified on your registered email once the results are ready, and can be downloaded from your registered account.
DBS testing is no more painful than a self-prick for a glucometer test. The kit contains one-time-use safety lancets which are used for pricking a finger and depositing a sample on a special filter paper card. The blood spot deposited on the filter paper card is allowed to dry, and hence the name dried blood spot.
Similarly, some tests may require saliva, urine or stool samples, which can also be collected on special filter paper cards. This makes the sample collection completely non-invasive.
Watching the instructional video and carefully reading the instruction manual before conducting the test should ensure a smooth experience. Should you encounter any difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
Once we receive your sample, the average response time is 7-10 business days to receive the results.
Lipomic LifeSciences can provide evidence-based suggestions for lifestyle changes that you can make to positively impact your health. We can also connect you with leading medical experts who can guide and discuss potential next steps.
Test Specific FAQs
You can take this test any time of the day. However, if you take Omega-3 supplements it is recommended that you take the test before taking the Omega-3 supplements.
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and is the most prominent disease related to failure of blood sugar regulation. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose nter your cells in order to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells. Over
time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems.
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the predominant protein found in red blood cells. It gives blood its red color, and its main function is to carry oxygen throughout the body. As glucose builds up in the blood, it binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. The HbA1c test measures the amount of hemoglobin with attached glucose. An HbA1c result of 6.5% implies that HbA1c accounts for 6.5% of the total hemoglobin in your blood. Red blood cells are produced continuously in our body and live for about 120 days. The level of HbA1c at any time is contributed by all circulating RBCs, from the oldest (120 days) to the youngest.
Some factors may interfere with the accuracy of A1C test results. These include – pregnancy, recent or heavy blood loss, recent blood transfusion, conditions that result in insufficient red blood cells (anemias).
If you have any of the following diabetes symptoms, you should get your HbA1c levels tested.
- Urinate (pee) a lot, often at night
- Excessive thirst
- Weight loss
- Frequent hunger
- Blurry vision
- Numb or tingling hands or feet
- Fatigue
- Delayed Healing
- Prone to infections
