Do you know what your A1C number is? Do you know what the AIC test is for?
The A1C test is a common blood test for diagnosing diabetes. For people living with diabetes, the test checks how well they manage blood sugar levels. The A1C test also is called the glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test.
An A1C test result shows the average blood sugar level over the past 2 to 3 months. The A1C test measures what percentage of hemoglobin in the blood is coated with sugar, also called glycated.
The higher the A1C level is, the poorer the blood sugar management. And the higher the risk of having health concerns related to diabetes. Like Heart Attacks and Strokes!
