You can get an A1C test at the following locations:
- Doctor's Office: Your primary care physician can order and perform the test.
- Laboratories: Many diagnostic labs offer A1C testing with a doctor's referral.
- Pharmacies: Some pharmacies provide A1C testing services.
- Community Health Clinics: These clinics often offer affordable or free testing for diabetes screening.
No fasting is required for an A1C test, making it convenient for most people. If you're over 45 or have risk factors for diabetes, it's recommended to get tested regularly.
