Can you tell me what the difference is between a normal fasting blood test and an HbA1c blood test.
A couple of weeks ago I had my routine annual fasting blood test which checks my liver and kidney functions also cholesterol and glucose. My BG level was 7.1 I have had raised BG for some years but not quite T2 but my doctor said it looks like I could be diabetic now but she wanted me to have another blood test to confirm it or not I had that today and the paper said HbA1c so is there a difference
