HbA1c is a test that measures the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin in your blood. The test gives a good estimate of how well diabetes is being managed over time.
HbA1c is normal if it is 5% or less. Normal ranges may vary slightly depending on the laboratory used.
You should try to keep your level below 7%. Ask your doctor how often you should have your Hb A1c tested (usually every 3 or 6 months is recommended).
The closer your HbA1c value is to normal, the less risk you have for complications.
