A blood test that measures average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.
A diagnostic test that detects how much glucose has been present in the bloodstream over the last 2 to 3 months prior. It is also called HbA1C, Hemoglobin A1C, and glycohemoglobin testing. Specifically, the test measures the amount of glucose that is attached to hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in the bloodstream. The amount is proportional to the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream.
A laboratory test that tells your average blood sugar level over the last 2 to 3 months. Also called HbA1C, Hemoglobin A1C and Glycohemoglobin testing.
Haemoglobin A1c. (Also called Glycosylated haemoglobin test). A test which measures your average blood glucose control over the preceding several months. This test is generally given at 3 month intervals. The Americans spell haemoglobin hemoglobin - without the "a".
The measurement of the amount of glycosylated haemoglobin in your blood. A1C provides an estimate of how well diabetes is being managed over time. ADA guidelines recommend an A1C target of 7.0% or less for people with type 2 diabetes to help prevent long-term medical complications such as cardiovascular disease and stroke.
This is a blood test given to diabetics...
Abbreviation for hemoglobin A1c (also HbA1c). (See glycosylated hemoglobin.)
Shorthand for glycated hemoglobin. A1c is a blood test to measure the amount of sugar in the bloodstream over a 3-month period. Glycated hemoglobin is produced when excess glucose attaches itself to red blood cells. A high percentage of glycated hemoglobin indicates potential problems with blood sugar control.
A test (also know as glycated hemoglobin for HbA1c) that provides an estimate of average blood glucose control for the past 3 months.
A test that sums up how much glucose has been sticking to part of the hemoglobin during the past 3–4 months. Hemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that supplies oxygen to the cells of the body.
This test measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin molecules in your red blood cells. The result is an average of your overall blood glucose levels over the past two to four months (120 days). Also called glycated hemoglobin.
A test that measures how much glucose has been sticking during the past 3–4 months to hemoglobin , the substance in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells of the body. The A1C test is important in diabetes as a long-term measure of control over blood glucose . Even outside of diabetes, an elevated A1C level may be a cardiovascular risk factor.

A test that measures a person's average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Hemoglobin (HEE-mo-glo-bin) is the part of a red blood cell that carries oxygen to the cells and sometimes joins with the glucose in the bloodstream. Also called hemoglobin A1C or glycosylated (gly-KOH-sih-lay-ted) hemoglobin, the test shows the amount of glucose that sticks to the red blood cell, which is proportional to the amount of glucose in the blood.
