What is the Hba1c test?

The Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the percentage of the hemoglobin A protein on red blood cells that has glucose attached. The higher your average blood glucose level, the more glucose is attached to the hemoglobin A1c protein. Your HbA1c level reflects your average blood glucose levels over the past 3 months. A healthy HbA1c level is below 5.7%, and a level above 5.7% indicates chronically elevated glucose levels and requires consultation with a healthcare professional.

Elevated HbA1c levels can be lowered and controlled by dietary and lifestyle changes. You can expect to see a change in your HbA1c levels when you re-test 3 months after making significant changes to your diet and lifestyle.

• Measurement - Testing your hemoglobin A1C level is a great way to get information about your body's ability to metabolize glucose.
• Change - Knowing your HbA1c level allows you to adjust your diet and supplements/medications.
• Monitoring - Monitoring changes over time is important to assess the effectiveness of dietary and lifestyle changes.
