how long does it take to get hemoglobin a1c results

The time it takes to receive your Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test results can vary depending on the lab and healthcare provider. Typically:

• In-office labs: Results may be available within 24 to 48 hours.
• External labs: It may take 3 to 5 business days to receive results.

Some clinics offer point-of-care testing, which can provide results in 10 to 15 minutes. However, these results are often confirmed with a more detailed lab test.

Always consult your healthcare provider for specific timelines and follow-up instructions.
