How long do A1C results take?

The time it takes to receive your A1C test results can vary depending on the lab or healthcare provider. Typically, results are available within 1 to 2 business days after the blood sample is collected. Some clinics may offer same-day results if they have in-house testing capabilities.

If you're waiting for your results, you can contact your healthcare provider for more specific timing. Remember, the A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months, so it provides a comprehensive view of your glucose control.
