What is the test for a1cs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The test is A1C.: A1c blood test is used in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. It tells us how much extra glucose has been in the blood for the past few months. Generally, the A1c is preferably less than 7% in diabetic patients, to denote relatively good control of the glucose levels.
