The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. This is because red blood cells, which carry hemoglobin, regenerate approximately every 3 months. The test reflects the percentage of your red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin, providing a long-term view of blood sugar control.
