Why Test Diabetes HbA1c?
Common reasons for this blood test are:
- To determine if blood sugar levels are consistently elevated over time, which may indicate diabetes
- To evaluate if diabetes medication is working, and if so, how well
- To access the risk of complications associated with diabetes such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage
