How long does it take for you a1c level to go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3-4 mths: This test is measuring the amount of glucose bound to the red blood cell. Since the red blood cells live approximately 4 months repeating this test every 3-4 months is appropriate to monitor how well you are controlling your blood sugars.
