What is HbA1c?
HbA1c is referred to by its alternate name, because it involves glucose molecules attaching to hemoglobin. Glucose in the blood circulates because it comes from the food we eat.

To monitor blood sugar levels of diabetic patients, they are tested every 2 to 3 months for an HbA1C test.
