Understanding your lifestyle score is the outcome of the HbA1c blood test and the lifestyle questionnaire which includes questions related to lifestyle factors commonly associated with long-term blood sugar levels. The questionnaire is mandatory because we want to give you more context for your results, and the more relevant lifestyle information we have, the more we can help you understand your individual results. 

The HbA1c test measures your long-term blood sugar level. It is commonly known as a 'long-term blood sugar test,' and is represented as a unit of measurement in mmol/mol (millimoles per mole) which has been the standard measurement for HbA1c since 2009. This part of the test and lifestyle assessment provides useful information about your measured long-term blood sugar level and your questionnaire responses related to lifestyle factors commonly associated with long-term blood sugar levels.

Knowing your current levels will help you to make informed choices about your lifestyle and diet. The lifestyle questionnaire provides the context, because information without context is often harder to interpret. The Zinzino Lifestyle Assessment will help you better understand your results, your lifestyle-related information and how your current lifestyle may relate to your individual results over time. Most importantly, it will guide you towards informed lifestyle choices in the years to come.
