Thanks! I knew blood sugar test, but didn’t know it’s called a1c.
There are two common ‘blood sugar’ tests, glucose level is what your level is at that moment (typically given after a 12 hour fast in AM blood work). if your glucose level is over a certain range you can be considered pre diabetic or diabetic. (don’t have the ranges to post sorry).
A1C is a test given primarily to those diagnosed with diabetes, versus the general non-diabetic population. as noted it is an average of blood sugar over a 60-90 day period.
