About Hemoglobin A1C Test
The hemoglobin A1C test measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. It is the primary test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. An A1C of 6.5% or higher on two separate tests indicates diabetes; 5.7%-6.4% indicates prediabetes.
Understanding Your Bill
A1C is typically billed as a single test. No fasting is required, unlike a fasting glucose test.
