A member asked:

Is there a correlation between blood glucose and hba1c?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HbA1c: A hba1c test is a blood test that will show how well (or poorly) glucose control has been over the last few months. It measures a special type of hemoglobin that forms as a result of high glucose levels. A high hba1c means poor glucose control.
