Diabetes & HbA1c Testing
Diabetes is a serious issue all over the world. It has reached epidemic levels in most countries, and the number of people affected by the disease is increasing.
Prestige Diagnostics are at the forefront of diabetes monitoring, and specialise in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing.
HbA1c testing involves measuring the amount of glucose attached to a patient’s haemoglobin, which has significant advantages over conventional blood glucose testing. Haemoglobin, which is a protein found in the red blood cells, binds with glucose in the bloodstream in a process called glycation. This glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) remains in the red blood cells for their lifespan of 8 to 12 weeks.
By measuring how much HbA1c is in the blood, you can check a patient’s blood sugar levels over the previous two or three months – not just at a given point in time. It also has the added advantage that the patient doesn’t have to fast beforehand. For these reasons, HbA1c testing is being used increasingly, except for patients with type 1 diabetes and certain other.

Point Of Care Diagnostics
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a huge trend in healthcare. It takes testing and analysis out of the hands of central laboratories and gives the responsibility to healthcare professionals at the point of care: the people who are dealing with patients with diabetes, cancer, kidney disease or whatever they may or may not be suffering from.
Test results can now be analysed at the point of care using small portable analysers. This saves time and money and offers clear benefits to both healthcare providers and patients. As an IVD manufacturer that follows market trends closely, we will continue to maintain a strong focus on this growing market. While 90% of what we currently supply is for central laboratory testing, we expect this percentage to fall to 60% in the foreseeable future as the point-of-care market grows in importance.
