The A1C test is a blood test used to measure the average level of glucose in the blood over the last two to three months, and is used as a means of checking how well blood sugar levels are being controlled for a person with diabetes. Prediabetes, a risk factor for diabetes, is signaled by levels between 5.7-6.4%. 2  A result below 5.7% indicates a healthy blood sugar level. 3  The typical target for people with diabetes is to get their A1C below 7%, but there are different targets for different individuals and stages of the disease.
Hemoglobin A1c, also called A1c or glycated hemoglobin, is hemoglobin with glucose attached. The A1c test evaluates the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months by measuring the percentage of glycated (glycosylated) hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an oxygen-transporting protein found inside red blood cells (RBCs). There are several types of normal hemoglobin, but the predominant form â about 95-98% â is hemoglobin A. As glucose circulates in the blood, some of it spontaneously binds to hemoglobin A. The higher the level of glucose in the blood, the more glycated hemoglobin is formed.
