Good evening, since my recent diagnosis my husband is also showing signs of diabetes, he went to see the gp today and is being sent for a hba1c test. I thought this test was to give levels over the last 3 months for comparison purposes so will this test confirm diabetes. We go to the same surgery but he saw a different gp to me. I had a test which showed high levels of glucose so was then sent for fasting/glucose tests and then the hba1c.
