Abstract in brief

The HbA1c test is a crucial tool for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes because it reflects the average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months, providing a long-term view of glycemic control.
Elevated HbA1c levels are associated not only with poorer diabetes management but also with increased risk of complications like heart disease and stroke, making it an important prognostic indicator.
The American Diabetes Association recognizes HbA1c as a valuable biomarker, and it can sometimes replace fasting blood glucose tests for diagnosing diabetes, offering reliable and comprehensive information about a patient's condition.]
