This panel checks A1C and glucose, two markers healthcare providers use to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. Share your results with your healthcare provider, who can tell you what they mean for you. Per the CDC, diabetes can make it harder to get pregnant and high blood sugar can increase your risk for: preeclampsia (high blood pressure), delivery by cesarean section, miscarriage or stillbirth. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults has prediabetes.
Method:
Simple finger prick blood collection card
No fasting needed. You can eat and drink normally before you collect your sample.
What does it measure?
A1C, Glucose
A1C: The A1C test—also known as the hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test—measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 90 days. Healthcare providers commonly use it to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. A normal A1C level is below 5.7%.
Several factors can falsely increase or decrease your A1C results, including:
Kidney failure, liver disease, or severe anemia.
A less common type of hemoglobin that people of African, Mediterranean, or Southeast Asian descent and people with certain blood disorders (such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia) may have.
Certain medicines, including opioids and some HIV medications.
Blood loss or blood transfusions.
Early or late pregnancy.
Glucose: Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. No fasting is needed for this kit, so your glucose result reflects your blood sugar at the time you collect your sample. Your healthcare provider can tell you what your result means and whether any follow-up is needed.
A portion of our revenue from each kit will be donated to fertility research and support.
