The hemoglobin A1c ("A-one-C") test is a blood test used in the care of people who have diabetes. The hemoglobin A1c percentage is a way of looking at your average blood sugar control over the last 2 or 3 months. Hemoglobin A1c is observed to be lower in healthy pregnant women than healthy non-pregnant women. Medical conditions associated with high red blood cell turnover are associated with lower hemoglobin A1c results.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
