The HbA1c Test combines a laboratory measurement of your long-term blood sugar (HbA1c) with a lifestyle questionnaire to provide additional context for your individual results. Your personalized report presents your HbA1c result together with the outcome of your lifestyle assessment, helping you better understand how your diet and everyday habits may be reflected in your test results. Based on your results and questionnaire responses, you receive result-based guidance on diet, physical activity and other lifestyle choices to support informed decisions about your daily routine. Repeat the test over time to compare your HbA1c results and monitor how changes in your diet and lifestyle may be reflected in your individual test results.

Više informacija
Test je podijeljen u dva glavna dijela. First, the actual measurement is performed using an easy at-home, laboratory-analyzed test for analyzing the long-term blood sugar level (HbA1c) found in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using the Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technique. This technique has been shown to correlate with venous blood sampling when validated for HbA1c analysis. All it requires is a few drops of blood on a filter paper and it takes less than a minute to complete. The blood will then be analyzed by VITAS Analytical Services in Norway, an independent laboratory with extensive experience in chromatographic analysis. Rezultat će se prikazati, nakon otprilike 10 – 20 dana, na web-mjestu zinzinotest.com pomoću vašeg osobnog, anonimnog ID-a testa.
This measurement provides information about your long-term blood sugar level, because knowing your current levels can help you make informed choices and take positive steps in your daily routine. To know which lifestyle areas to consider, the second part of the test is a lifestyle assessment. Prilikom prijave s ID-om testa od vas će se tražiti da ispunite detaljan upitnik za procjenu načina života. This will provide the context, because information without context is harder to interpret. The Zinzino lifestyle assessment will help you better understand your results, how your current lifestyle may relate to your wellness routine, and most importantly guide you towards informed lifestyle choices over time. To do this, we combine your test result with your lifestyle assessment and provide lifestyle-based scores related to the following areas, based on your questionnaire responses, for you to track over time:
– Overall lifestyle and well-being status
– Analiza HbA1c testa
– Lifestyle factors related to metabolism
– Lifestyle factors related to immune function
– Lifestyle factors related to brain function
– Lifestyle factors related to gut function
– Lifestyle factors related to bone & joints
Što mjerimo
The Hemoglobin A1c test that we use to measure the long-term blood sugar level analyzes the amount of A1c, a form of hemoglobin with glucose attached. The higher the amount of blood glucose (blood sugar) on average, the more glucose attaches to hemoglobin. It is represented as a unit of measurement in mmol/mol (millimoles per mole) which has been the standard measurement for HbA1c since 2009. The result is then categorized in one of 4 different reporting ranges used in the report:
| Normal range | < 34 mmol/mol |
| Monitor closely range | 34 – < 38 mmol/mol |
| Elevated range | 38 – < 47 mmol/mol |
| High range | > 47 mmol/mol |
The result is not intended to diagnose diabetes or any other medical condition.
Napomena!
When the HbA1c result is in the normal or monitor closely range, lifestyle assessment is presented, including lifestyle and background factors that may be associated with changes in long-term blood sugar levels over time. If the result is in the elevated range or high range, this information is not presented since as the report instead provides guidance to seek professional advice or follow-up.

Način uporabe
1. Zinzino Test je odobreni in vitro dijagnostički proizvod za prikupljanje osobnih uzoraka krvi kod kuće.
– Prvo operite ruke sapunom te ih dobro isperite toplom vodom i osušite.
2. Take out the sample card from the paper envelope.
Spremite omotnicu za kasniju upotrebu.
Tear off the SAVE part on the sample card and take a picture of the test ID. You can only see your test result with your anonymous test ID. Postavite karticu tako da su dva kruga okrenuta prema gore na stolu.
3. Stimulate blood flow by making big circles with your arm or shaking the hand downwards for 20 seconds.
4. Izvadite lancetu za jednokratnu uporabu. Skinite prozirni sigurnosni čep i lanceta je spremna za uporabu.
Upotrijebite alkoholnu vlažnu maramicu za čišćenje vrha prsta (preporučuje se srednji prst).
Place the lancet against the lower part of the fingertip facing the collection paper on the table. Gurnite vrh lancete prema prstu dok ne čujete klik. Lanceta će automatski napraviti mali ubod u prstu.
5. Ne dodirujte filtarski papir prstima.
6. Ispunite jedan po jedan krug kapima krvi. Lagano stisnite prst i pričekajte da kap krvi sama kapne unutar kruga.
Ako jedna kap krvi ne prekrije krug, pričekajte da s prsta kapne još jedna.
Leave the sample card in a horizontal position at room temperature for at least 10 minutes for the samples to dry well.
7. Insert the sample card back into the paper envelope. Then place the paper envelope into the metal bag and close it.
Važno: Ne uklanjajte vrećicu sa sredstvom za sušenje unutar metalne vrećice.
8. Stavite zatvorenu metalnu vrećicu u veliku omotnicu s laboratorijskom adresom na njoj. Napomena! Prije stavljanja u poštanski sandučić na omotnicu morate staviti točan iznos poštanskih markica.
Register your test ID code at www.zinzinotest.com. This is the website where you can see your test result later. Potrajat će 10 – 20 dana dok vaš rezultat ne bude spreman.
Važno: Keep the SAVE part of the card. You can only see your test result with your anonymous test ID.
9. The next step is to answer the questionnaire by logging in with your annonymous test ID. To answer all the questions, you need to have access to a measuring tape, and previous Balance and/or Vitamin D test IDs if applicable.
10. Kako izmjeriti struk:
• Place a measuring tape around your middle, just above the belly button.
• Make sure it’s pulled tight, but isn’t digging into your skin.
• Breathe out naturally and take your measurement.
• Take your measurement again, just to be sure.
Tip!
If you do not have a measuring tape, use a piece of string in the same way, then measure the string with a yardstick.
