The 'C' in A1C stands for 'glycated'. A1C refers to glycated hemoglobin, which is a form of hemoglobin that has glucose attached to it. The A1C test measures the percentage of your red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin, providing an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.
