Facts About Diabetes
What
is an A1c (HbA1c) test?
This is a simple
blood test that will show how well you have controlled your blood
glucose (sugar) levels over the last 2 - 3 months. The A1c test
shows if your average glucose level is too high, or even too low.
The NIDDK, National
Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases recommends
that you ask your health care provider for an A1c test at least
twice a year, more often if your blood glucose (sugar) level stays
too high, or if your treatment plan changes.
