Diabetes Check
Ready for a diabetes check?
Having your A1c checked yearly is an important part of living a healthy life. Health Plan of Nevada has partnered with Ready, a community-based in-home provider to offer a no-cost, complimentary HbA1c test in your home.
What is a hemoglobin A1c test?
It’s a simple blood test used to measure your average blood sugar levels over the previous 3 months.
This important routine test gives you and your health care team information to help:
- Diagnose prediabetes and diabetes
- Manage and optimize the treatment of diabetes
Do you know the common signs and symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes, or diabetes treatment that needs to be adjusted?
- Excessive thirst, hunger and urination
- Unintentional weight loss
- Fatigue
- Dry skin
- Recurrent infections or infections that are slow to heal
- Numb fingers or toes
- Sweet or fruity smelling breath
- Gum disease
If you are experiencing any of the above signs or symptoms or haven’t had an A1c test within the last year, we recommend you get tested.
Getting your A1c test with Ready is simple:
-
Book a visit. Ready will soon be reaching out via phone to schedule your in-home visit. If you prefer not to wait, contact Ready at 702-849-0123. Ready provides both same-day and next-day appointments.
-
Now you can relax, a responder is on the way. A local responder will come to you wherever you are — home, office or hotel during the time you set your visit.
-
Get personalized care. Your responder will take your vitals, perform your test, and set up a video chat with a clinician who can provide you with your results.
