No, a hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) test does not require fasting. It measures the average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months and is not impacted by short-term changes in diet or fasting. It is typically used to monitor long-term blood sugar control in individuals with Diabetes.
The color of the top tube for an HGB A1C test is typically lavender. Lavender top tubes are used to collect whole blood samples for hematology tests, including HGB A1C testing.
The lavender-top tube or EDTA tube is typically used for Hgb A1c testing in phlebotomy. It helps prevent clotting by binding calcium ions.
"18kt hgb" likely refers to an 18 karat gold band. The "hgb" may indicate the manufacturer or designer of the band.

HGB in a hematology analysis report stands for hemoglobin. It is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. The HGB level is used to diagnose and monitor different types of anemia and other blood disorders.

Hgb = hemoglobin which is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. blood tests are able to detect how much of this you have in your blood. I don't know about the AC part, but I'm a type 1 diabetic and I get my Hgb A1c checked every 3 months. And that's a blood test to see how much sugar you have in your blood, pretty much.
It is helpful to fast - for at least 12 hours - for the most accurate bloodwork (especially concerning lipid profiles, blood sugars, Hgb-A1C, albumin and protein levels, and vitamin levels).
Hgb means hemoglobin

Is mean corpuscular hgb level 28.2 ok?
A blood test for sugar inside the red blood cell. It is ued to check for compliance of diabetic patients instead of a fasting blood sugar. It is a very specific test so a lot better than the fasting blood sugar. It is a test for blood sugar inside the red blood cell. It is used for the diabetic patient to check for insulin/diet/drug compliance.

Hemoglobin is on RBCs, not WBCs. Hemoglobin picks up CO2 from cells and takes it to the lungs, where it releases CO2 and picks up O2. Anemia can reduce available Hgb in the bloodstream. So can any illness, condition, or disease which affects RBC production.
