Doc has written hba1c in my test list and im like what is this for. I dont have sugar problem normally. Why do they check this in pregnancy? just curious before i go give the sample.
This is a routine blood test to screen for gestational diabetes. It measures your 3-month sugar average. Just get it done in the morning, it's very helpful for a healthy pregnancy.
Mera bhi doctor ne ye test likha tha starting me hi. Meri family me diabetes ki history hai, toh bas safe rehne ke liye unhone check kiya tha. Report normal aayi thi.
I felt so nervous when my gynecologist ordered this, thinking my sweet cravings had caused high sugar! But it's just a standard HbA1c test to monitor sugar levels. It was over in a minute.
Hi! Is this test compulsory for everyone or only if we have a family history of diabetes? I am planning to conceive and making a list of standard tests.
I completely understand the panic when doctors write down ten different tests—it used to make me so anxious! HbA1c is just a simple blood test to check your average sugar levels of the past 3 months. It's totally routine, so don't stress.
Oh, the sugar test! I had to control my craving for gulab jamun before this one. It basically checks if your body is handling sugar well, simple blood prick test.
