The A1C Test, otherwise known as haemoglobin AIC (HbA1C), is a blood test that is used to look at how your blood sugar has been over the past 3 months.
It gives an average value of your blood sugar over 3 months, and it is commonly used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes.
WHO NEEDS THIS TEST?
The A1C Test is recommended for everyone with diabetes or prediabetes. It is also recommended that adults who are 45 years or older, and people with conditions that put them at a higher risk for diabetes, such as being obese or overweight should check their A1C levels.
