Understanding Your A1C Test Results

The A1C test is one of the most important tools used to monitor diabetes. Unlike daily blood glucose readings, the A1C test provides an average picture of your blood sugar levels over the past two to three months.

Learn what your A1C number means, how often you should be tested, and what target ranges are generally recommended. Understanding this key measurement can help you and your healthcare provider make adjustments to your diabetes care plan.
