What This Value Measures
The HbA1c level shows the average blood sugar over approximately the last two to three months. It is used to assess and monitor glucose metabolism.

Elevated Value
An elevated level may indicate persistently elevated blood sugar or diabetes mellitus.
Low Value
Low levels are generally unremarkable.
Note: Fasting is not required for this measurement.
Reference ranges are typical guide values for adults and vary depending on the laboratory, measurement method, age and sex — always compare with the range stated on your own report. A value outside the range does not automatically mean an illness, and a value within the range does not rule one out. The trend and overall picture are usually more informative than a single value. The doctor's assessment is always decisive.
