Hemoglobin A1c

What it tests for:
The Hemoglobin A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It provides a long-term view of glucose control and is commonly used to screen for prediabetes, diabetes, and monitor how well blood sugar is being managed.

Why it matters:

• Identifies early signs of insulin resistance or blood sugar imbalance

• Helps track progress if you're already managing diabetes

• A more reliable measure than a single glucose reading

What’s measured:

• Percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that has glucose attached

• A result of 5.7% to 6.4% may indicate prediabetes

• 6.5% or higher suggests diabetes

This test is key for anyone looking to optimize energy, weight, metabolism, or long-term health.
