What an A1C Actually Measures

A1C is best known as a diabetes test, but there’s more to the story. 🔬

Unlike a standard glucose check, which shows your blood sugar at a single moment, an A1C reflects your average blood sugar over the past two to three months. That’s because it measures how much sugar has attached to your red blood cells over their lifespan.

This makes it a valuable tool not just for diagnosing diabetes, but for monitoring how well a treatment plan is working over time.

Ask your provider if an A1C makes sense for you, or order one directly through InterpathDirect.
