Doctors know the importance of early detection and prevention of diabetes. Your doctor might order a hemoglobin A1C test to establish a baseline if you’re over age forty-five, overweight, or have risk factors for type 2 diabetes. 

Your A1C test results reveal percentages that indicate the percent of hemoglobin attached to sugar. 

The more sugar you have in your blood, the more it binds to hemoglobin, which is the blood protein that transports oxygen throughout your body. Your A1C results will reference ranges of percentages used to interpret the findings of your test. 

The A1C is a simple blood test usually taken from your arm or finger. You don’t need to fast unless you receive these instructions for other tests on the same day.

Many experts use the following ranges for diagnostic purposes:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Pre-diabetes: 5.7 to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above
