where to find a1c on lab results

The A1C (also known as HbA1c or glycated hemoglobin) is typically listed in the Diabetes or Metabolic Panel section of your lab results. Here’s how to locate it:

• Look for "A1C" or "HbA1c": It is often labeled as one of these terms.
• Check the percentage value: A1C results are reported as a percentage (e.g., 5.7%, 6.4%).
• Reference ranges: Normal, prediabetes, and diabetes ranges are usually provided next to your result.

If you’re unsure, consult your healthcare provider or the lab that processed your test for clarification.
