This is a self-collected laboratory analysis that measures the amount of hemoglobin A1c in your blood. Your test results will greatly assist your health care professional in determining your best course of diabetes treatment.
HbA1c testing is a Necessity
Periodic hemoglobin A1c testing gives you and your health care professional the most accurate picture of your overall diabetes control. By lowering your HbA1c number (or keeping it low) you can help avoid the risk of serious diabetes problems affecting the eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
It is important to note that lowering your hemoglobin A1c level by any amount will improve your overall health.
Note: Test results provide important information, but never adjust your medication(s) based on the test results alone. Always consult with your health care professional before making any changes in your treatment
ADA has launched a new program for people with diabetes called the Choose to Live Challenge. Each month, the ADA will present a new challenge and offer resources to help people meet it. November's challenge is to "get the very best care for your diabetes." . So, order your A1C home-test kit now and meet the Challenge!
