A1c Test

A1C test

A1C test is a common blood test that is used to diagnose diabetes type 1 and 2. It is also the main test carried out in diabetics to assess diabetes management. The test result gives information on an individual’s average levels of blood sugar, over the past 3 months. It is sometimes referred to as the haemoglobin A1c test, HbA1c or glycohaemoglobin test. The A1C actually measures the percentage the haemoglobin (protein that carries oxygen to various organs of the body through blood) that is adhered to blood sugar (glycated hemoglobin). The higher the A1C level, the poorer your management of diabetes and blood sugar control. The test also indicates whether a diabetic person is at risk of developing diabetes complications.
