Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is the definitive gold standard for monitoring long-term glucose control and diagnosing pre-diabetes.

What is the HbA1c Test?

This test measures the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Because these cells live for 90-120 days, the test provides a "memory" of your sugar levels that a standard finger-prick cannot.

Why get tested?

  • To screen for diabetes during a routine wellness check.
  • Mandatory quarterly monitoring for JaliCare Diabetes members.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of new diet or medication plans.
