HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c, A1C, or glycated hemoglobin) is a blood test that provides an average of your blood sugar (glucose) levels over the previous 2 to 3 months.
What it is: Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When glucose is in the bloodstream, it binds to the hemoglobin, a process called glycation. The HbA1c test measures the percentage of hemoglobin that has glucose attached.
Why it reflects a 2-3 month average: Red blood cells live for about 120 days, so the test reflects the average blood glucose concentration over their lifespan.
Primary Use:
Diagnosis of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Monitoring long-term glucose control for people with diabetes.
High HbA1c indicates poor long-term glucose control and an increased risk of diabetes-related complications (e.g., nerve, eye, and kidney damage).
