HbA1c: No. HbA1c is a measure of your average blood sugar over the Last few weeks and menses not likely to affect it.

No: Your HB A1c results would not interfere with the time you have your periods. However diabetes can interfere with your periods, specifically if uncontrolled. Always talk to your treating doc, who will have the best view on your medical situation.
