Hemoglobin A1C test provides quantitative measurement of the percent of
glycated hemoglobin (%A1C) levels in capillary (fingerstick) or venous whole
blood samples. This test is use to monitor glycemic control in people with
diabetes.
The most prevalent and well-characterized species of glycated hemoglobin A
is A1C, making up approximately 3% to 6% of total hemoglobin in healthy
individuals. The correlation of A1C and blood glucose levels make it a useful
method of monitoring long-term blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.
Studies have shown that tight glycemic control is associated with fewer
diabetes-related complications such as vision problems, cardiovascular
problems, and kidney problems[1].
This test is not for the screening or diagnosis of diabetes. This test is
not a substitute for regular healthcare provider visits and blood glucose
monitoring. Give us a call if you have any questions: 801-735-6745.
