About Hemoglobin A1C Testing in Bothell
Hemoglobin A1C reflects long-term glucose exposure rather than a single point-in-time reading.
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells. When glucose circulates in the bloodstream, it can attach to hemoglobin in a process called glycation. Because red blood cells live roughly three months, the proportion of glycated hemoglobin serves as an integrated record of glucose levels over that period.
The A1C result is reported as a percentage. Higher percentages indicate greater average glucose exposure. Clinicians use the test both to identify individuals who may have prediabetes or diabetes and to track how well glucose management is working over time.
The sample is collected through a standard blood draw, typically from a vein in the arm. Results are generally available within one to three business days. Preparation instructions should be followed as provided by the laboratory performing the collection.
