HbA1c, or Hemoglobin A1c, is a blood test that measures the average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past two to three months. It provides a valuable indicator of how well diabetes is being managed over time. The test works by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen) that is coated with sugar molecules. Higher HbA1c levels indicate poorer blood sugar control and may suggest an increased risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. This test is crucial in monitoring diabetes management, adjusting treatment plans, and assessing overall diabetes risk.
