The time it takes to receive your A1C test results can vary depending on the healthcare facility or lab. Here’s a general guideline:
- In-office tests: Some clinics or doctor’s offices offer point-of-care A1C testing, which can provide results within 5 to 10 minutes.
- Lab tests: If your blood sample is sent to a lab, results typically take 1 to 2 business days.
Always confirm with your healthcare provider for specific timelines, as processing times may vary.
