Specializing in personalized, at-home nutritional status tests for consumers, OmegaQuant launched an at-home HbA1c test in May, rounding out a portfolio built since its founding in 2009 that includes finger-stick tests for the omega-3 index, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and prenatal DHA.
As opposed to a fasting glucose test, the HbA1c test captures a user’s blood sugar status over a period of three months, offering a window into dietary intake over time. Unlike HbA1c testing that requires a blood draw, the finger stick method provides a more accessible route for health-minded individuals to determine their blood sugar levels at their own convenience.
Following shipment of samples to OmegaQuant, results are provided to consumers with additional information on the optimal range of HbA1C (4.5-5.7%), along with concentrations indicative of prediabetes and diabetes.
