What does A1C measure in a blood test?
Correct answer: Blood sugar level for three months
Byrde Alpha Bitch
Vijayanarasimha M.R., A1C stands for glycated hemoglobin. The A1c percentage measures how much sugar (glucose) is attached to the blood's hemoglobin protein.

Here in Australia it's called the HbA1c test. I have it done at least once a year. Twice I've been pre-diabetic & twice I've managed to get back to normal levels. A combination of healthy foods only (ie: NO junk food, cookies, choc etc) plus exercise helps but it's a constant battle with all the processed foods out there.

Along with insulin that my pancreas barely makes, it is important that I eat properly to just stay alive.

so, before making comments about things pls understand diabetes is an inherited disease that been around since the beginning of time.

The Diabetes industry was worth $61.8 billion in 2022, and is projected to be $118 billion by 2032. Between doctors, dieticians, Big Pharma, monitoring equipment, gym gurus, and special food, diabetes is big business.

Donna, not all diabetes is hereditary. As an example, gestational diabetes can happen during pregnancy, but once the baby is delivered, the mother's insulin production usually returns to normal.
