A member asked:

What do my blood sugar test a1c results mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood sugar control : The hba1c provides an estimate of overall blood sugar control covering a 3 month period. If abnormally high patients may have prediabetes or diabetes. A normal hba1c doesn't completely rule out either condition. Though if there is concern about diabetes then other tests will also be recommended by your doctor. Please discuss with your physician.
