HbA1c is a test to diagnose diabetes and also to assess the severity of the disease. Your HbA1c level rising means that you are not aware what HbA1c test is meant for.
Please consult a General Physician in your area for further assessment. You will have to go for diet control and you may also need oral antidiabetics .
