The HgbA1C measurement assesses glucose control over the past 2-3 months. It is recommended approximately every 3 months in diabetics.
Hemoglobin A1C is a blood test. It measures your average blood glucose level over a set period of time (8 to 12 weeks) leading up to scheduled office visits.
The component of red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body's cells, it also carries sugar through the bloodstream. Because the sugar is attached for the life of the cell, which is about four months, a test of hemoglobin A1C shows the average blood glucose level for that period of time.
a test that shows the average amount of sugar in the blood over the last three months. The result will indicate if the blood sugar level is under control.
A laboratory test that tells your average blood glucose level over the last two to three months. Also called A1c, HbA1c and Glycohemoglobin.
The main fraction of glycosylated hemoglobin (glycohemoglobin) which is hemoglobin to which glucose is bound. Hemoglobin A1C is tested to monitor the long-term control of diabetes mellitus . See the entire definition of Hemoglobin A1C
Increased levels are seen in poorly controlled diabetics. As glucose attached to red cells for 120 days, a test to measure hemoglobin A1C shows what the person's average blood glucose level was for that period of time.
a test to measure blood sugar level
Hemoglobin A1C (glycohemoglobin) is a form of hemoglobin used to indicate the average blood glucose for the preceding 6 to 12 weeks.
a test that sums up how much glucose has been sticking to part of the hemoglobin during the past 3-4 months.
The substance of red blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells and sometimes joins with glucose (sugar). Because the glucose stays attached for the life of the cell (about 4 months), a test to measure hemoglobin A1C shows what the person's average blood glucose level was for that period of time.
