HbA1c, short for glycated hemoglobin, is a key biomarker used to measure your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. Unlike daily glucose tests that capture a single point in time, the HbA1c test offers a broader, more reliable picture of how well your body is managing blood sugar. For individuals with diabetes or those at risk, this test is an essential tool in both diagnosis and ongoing health management.
HbA1c testing is changing the way we understand long-term blood sugar control—and it’s more important than ever.
