The time it takes to get results from an A1C test can vary depending on the lab or healthcare facility. Here’s a general timeline:
- In-office or lab testing: Results are typically available within 1 to 2 business days.
- Point-of-care testing: Some clinics offer rapid A1C tests that provide results in about 10 minutes.
Your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you and explain what they mean for your diabetes management or diagnosis.
