HbA1c is your average blood glucose (sugar) levels for the last two to three months. If you have diabetes, an ideal HbA1c level is 6.5 (ideally between 5 and 7). If you have type 1 diabetes, your doctor or consultant will most likely test your blood during your three month check-up.
The blood sample is just taken from a normal finger prick, nothing to worry about!
