Five Numbers Every Adult in Gurugram Should Know By Heart

You don't need to memorise a full report. Five numbers carry most of the information.

1. Blood Pressure

Target under 120/80. Above 140/90 on repeated readings is hypertension — usually silent for years. Measure sitting, after five minutes' rest.

2. HbA1c

Your average sugar over three months. Under 5.7% is normal, 5.7–6.4% is prediabetes, 6.5%+ is diabetes. Prediabetes is the stage where lifestyle still reverses things.

3. LDL Cholesterol

The number that drives heart attacks. Under 100 mg/dL for most adults, under 70 if you are diabetic or have existing heart disease. Comes from a lipid profile.

4. Haemoglobin

Under 13 g/dL in men and 12 g/dL in women is anaemia — an extremely common and very treatable cause of fatigue in Indian adults, especially women.

5. Vitamin D

Aim for 30–50 ng/mL. Deficiency is close to universal among Gurugram's indoor office workers and shows up as body ache, fatigue and poor bone health.

How to Get All Five

A single fasting morning sample covers HbA1c, LDL, haemoglobin and vitamin D; blood pressure takes two minutes. Our ADC Essential and ADC Advanced packages include all five, and home collection means no lab visit.

Test once a year if you are healthy, twice if you have diabetes, hypertension or a strong family history.
