Detailed explanation-1: -The A1C test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes. If you’re living with diabetes, the test is also used to monitor how well you’re managing blood sugar levels. The A1C test is also called the glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c test.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main diagnostic test for diabetes mellitus is glycosylated hemoglobin or hemoglobin A1c.
Detailed explanation-3: -The A1C test measures the average amount of glucose that’s been attached to hemoglobin over time. Because the A1C test measures glucose levels over a period of time, it provides more information about blood sugar than a single blood sugar test.
