What is hb1ac?

HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, is a blood test that measures the average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It reflects how well Diabetes is being managed and is expressed as a percentage; higher percentages indicate poorer blood sugar control. This test helps healthcare providers assess the risk of diabetes-related complications and adjust treatment plans accordingly. Regular monitoring of HbA1c is crucial for individuals with diabetes.
