Hemoglobin is a protein that makes your red blood cells red-colored. When hemoglobin picks up glucose from your bloodstream, the hemoglobin becomes glycosylated.
Glycosylated hemoglobin is HbA1c. The HbA1c test measures the perventage of HbA1c in your blood-a number that corresponds to your average blood glucose for the previous 3 months.
People who have diabetes need this test regularly to see if their levels are staying within range. It can tell if you need to adjust your diabetes medicines.
