Hemoglobin A1C Screening

A1C, also known as glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin, indicates a person's blood sugar control over the last 2-3 months. A1C is formed when glucose in the blood binds irreversibly to hemoglobin to form a stable glycated hemoglobin complex.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends A1C as the best test to determine if a person's blood sugar is under control over time.
