Description

The HbA1c test represents what a person’s average blood glucose level was for the last 2 to 3 months before the test. This can help determine how well a person’s diabetes is being controlled over time. This test is also used to monitor the glucose control of diabetics over time. The goal of those with diabetes is to keep their blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. The HbA1c test may be used to screen for prediabetes in adults.
