HbA1c Test (Diabetes) – Private Testing in London

The HbA1c Test (Diabetes) is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £63. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 1 day.

HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over the preceding 2-3 months by measuring the percentage of haemoglobin molecules with glucose attached. It is the standard test for diabetes screening and monitoring.

Who Should Consider the HbA1c Test (Diabetes)?

Individuals being screened for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Diabetic patients monitoring glycaemic control. Those with risk factors including family history, overweight, sedentary lifestyle, or belonging to higher-risk ethnic groups.

HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol is normal. 42-47 mmol/mol indicates prediabetes. 48 mmol/mol or above is consistent with diabetes. No fasting is required for this test.

A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture, a straightforward procedure that typically takes around five minutes. Our clinic is on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 2362.
