HbA1C: The hemoglobin A-1 C is not meant to be tested on a daily basis. It looks at 120 days more or less mean control. It is recommended to check the hemoglobin A-1 C every six months and that is what insurance covers. You can check it every three months because it is dependent on the turnover time of your red blood cells which is 120 days. If you're Blood sugars are running as you state your fine.
