The HBA1C test kit is a product used to rapidly detect the level of HBA1c in the blood. Hemoglobin A1C is the combination of hemoglobin and glucose in red blood cells, which can reflect the average blood sugar level of a person in the past 2-3 months, and is an important indicator to evaluate the blood sugar control of diabetes patients.

In 2021, there were 521 million people suffering from diabetes worldwide, the number of it remains on rise and is forecast to reach to 1.31 billion by 2050. As a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and lower limb amputation, prevention for and control of diabetes is an urgent matter.

Normally people have three kinds of hemoglobin: HbA, HbF, HbA2, while adult red blood cells mainly contain HbA. HbA1c is glycosylated hemoglobin, formed by HbA in the metabolic process and glucose, so it can accurately reflect the glucose level in the blood.

In 2023, The Lancet published a result of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD Study 2021) online, estimating the global burden of diabetes for 1990-2021 and making projections for 2050.

1. Fasting blood sugar: Fasting blood sugar refers to the blood sugar value of the person to be tested at least 8 hours (usually 8-12 hours) after eating. The normal value of fasting blood sugar is 3.9-6.1mmol/L, and the blood sugar value is 6.1-7mmol,
