Natural Diabetes Cure
The A1c test (also known as HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin) is a good general measure of diabetes care. While conventional home glucose monitoring measures a person’s blood sugar at a given moment, the A1c test indicates a person’s average blood glucose level over the past few months.
Understanding A1c Numbers
For a person without diabetes, a typical A1c level is about 5%. For someone with diabetes, experts disagree somewhat on what the A1c target should be. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends an A1c target of less than or equal to 7%. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommends a level of 6.5% or below.
