Your Diabetes Companion
Keeping tabs on diabetes means checking things regularly. Seviyaar lets you test your HbA1c (average blood sugar over three months) at home – just like a lab! This gives you a good idea of how you’re managing your diabetes.
Unlike daily finger pricks, which only show what’s happening right now, this test shows trends over time. This helps you and your doctor make better treatment decisions.
Seviyaar’s service cuts out trips to the clinic, long waits, and scheduling problems. Qualified professionals come to your house to take samples when it works best for you, so it’s easy. You get NABL-approved lab results on your phone within hours. Whether you’re new to diabetes, already dealing with it, or watching out for pre-diabetes, testing your HbA1c at home helps you stay in charge of your health easily and with confidence.
Understanding Your HbA1c Results
HbA1c results show as a percentage, telling you how much glucose has stuck to your blood cells over the past two to three months. A regular reading is below 5.7%, and prediabetes is between 5.7% and 6.4%. You’re diagnosed with diabetes if your HbA1c is 6.5% or higher. If you have diabetes, keeping your HbA1c below 7% can really lower your chances of problems like kidney issues, nerve damage, and heart trouble.
Seviyaar provides clear, easy-to-read reports with color-coded visuals and straightforward explanations. We offer reference ranges tailored to your age, diabetes type, and medical history. Our reports track your previous results, allowing you to monitor changes over time. Understanding these numbers helps you assess whether your treatment is effective or needs adjustment. Regular testing every three months offers the most accurate picture of your diabetes management.

Who Should Get Regular HbA1c Testing?
Lots of people can gain from getting their HbA1c tested regularly, not just those already diagnosed with diabetes.
If you have prediabetes, testing every six months is a good idea. It helps you keep tabs on things and see if your lifestyle changes are working.
Got risk factors like obesity, a family history of diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure, or a desk job? Then you should get screened once a year.
Expectant mothers with gestational diabetes need to keep a close watch throughout their pregnancy and after giving birth.
If you’re dealing with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, aim for testing every three months. This helps you see if your treatment is doing its job and keeps problems away. If you’ve made recent changes to your meds, insulin, diet, or exercise, testing more often can show you how these adjustments are affecting you.
Benefits of Regular Diabetes Monitoring
Keeping an eye on your HbA1c can really change how you deal with diabetes, making it way easier to handle. Testing regularly helps catch when treatments aren’t working, so you can tweak your meds before anything serious happens.
Plus, it shows you how those diet and exercise changes are paying off, which can keep you motivated. And because it tracks trends over time, it can spot things that daily blood sugar checks might miss, like how your condition is affected by the seasons, stress, or even sleep.
For doctors, knowing your HbA1c levels helps them make better treatment decisions, so they aren’t just guessing. It also makes things easier when it comes to insurance claims for any diabetes related problems. More than anything, keeping your HbA1c at the right level can really reduce your risk of heart, kidney, and eye problems.
