This test is for home use monitoring of glycemic control in patients with diabetes. A1C measures your average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months. If you have diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that your A1C should be under 7%. One point reduction in your A1C reduces the risk of serious complications by 40%. Remember that your A1C is your big picture measurement. Don't use it for short-term daily blood glucose measurement. If you have questions about your A1C result, please contact your doctor or healthcare provider. Do not adjust your medication unless instructed to do so by your doctor or healthcare provider.
