The term ACHS blood sugar is not a standard medical term. It might be a typo or misinterpretation of HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c), which is a common blood test used to measure average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.

  • HbA1c measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that is coated with sugar (glucose).
  • It is used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes, and to monitor how well blood sugar is being managed over time.

For reference:

  • Normal: Below 5.7%
  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or above

If you meant something else, please provide more context or consult a healthcare professional for clarification.
