how long does a1c take to go down

The A1C test reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Therefore, changes in your A1C level will take time to reflect improvements in blood sugar control. Here’s what you need to know:

• Timeframe: It typically takes about 2-3 months to see a noticeable change in your A1C level after making lifestyle changes or starting new treatments.
• Factors Affecting A1C: The rate at which your A1C decreases depends on how well you manage your blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication.
• Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and following your healthcare provider’s advice can help you achieve a lower A1C over time.
