Diabetes / Glucose
Also known as: A1C, Glycated Hemoglobin
No common urgent flag from this test alone
This test checks the average amount of sugar in your blood. It looks at how much sugar has stuck to your red blood cells. This shows your average blood sugar level for the last two to three months.
Doctors order this test to see if you have prediabetes or diabetes. It also helps people with diabetes keep their blood sugar levels in a healthy range.
Reference ranges for A1c can vary slightly between different laboratories, and interpretation may depend on individual factors.
