An HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) test precisely measures the percentage of sugar-coated or glycated hemoglobin in your blood. The test results represent the proportion of hemoglobin in your blood that has been glycated. 

Hemoglobin, a vital protein found in red blood cells, is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin A is the most abundant form of hemoglobin, and when blood sugar levels increase, a higher proportion of hemoglobin A becomes glycated. As red blood cells have a lifespan of approximately 120 days, the sugar molecules remain attached to the hemoglobin for the duration of the cell's life. Consequently, the HbA1c test offers insight into your average blood sugar levels over the past 8 to 12 weeks. 

A fasting blood sugar test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose serves as the body's energy currency and is broken down through metabolism to produce energy. Hormones and enzymes produced by the liver and pancreas control this process. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. When these levels are high, such as after a meal, insulin is secreted to transport glucose into cells for energy production. Elevated glucose levels in the body after fasting may indicate a risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes, which can be of two types- Type 1, caused by little or no insulin production, and Type 2, caused by insulin resistance or decreased insulin production.

The Electrocardiography at Center test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This test provides a detailed recording of the heart's electrical impulses, which are crucial for its rhythm and function. By capturing the heart's electrical signals, the ECG test can identify various conditions affecting heart health, such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities.

The ECG machine consists of a series of electrodes attached to the skin at specific locations on the chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes sense the electrical impulses produced by the heart as it beats. The impulses are then transmitted to the ECG machine, which records them as a waveform on a computer or paper printout. This waveform represents the heart's electrical activity over time, allowing for the analysis of the heart's rhythm, rate, and electrical conduction.

Doctors examine the ECG trace to diagnose heart conditions and determine appropriate treatments. By evaluating the size and timing of each electrical impulse, doctors can detect issues such as irregular heartbeats, heart muscle damage, and other cardiovascular problems.
