Concerned about prediabetes, diabetes, or long-term blood sugar control? A Hemoglobin A1c test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months and helps assess your risk for diabetes and how well blood sugar is being managed over time.
Hemoglobin A1c - This test is crucial for monitoring blood sugar levels. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggests getting this test twice a year if your blood sugar is stable, and every three months if it's not well controlled. The results help understand how well diabetes is being managed over time, using guidelines from the ADA.
