Product Description

A1C is an indication of your average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months For most people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that your A1C should be under 7% A 1% point reduction in A1C may lower the risk of complications by up to 40% Remember that your A1C is your "big picture" measurement. Don't use it for daily blood glucose measurement If you have any questions about your A1C result, please contact your doctor or healthcare provider. Do not adjust your medication unless instructed to do so by your doctor or healthcare provider The lower limit of the A1C target may vary. Talk to your health care provider about what the right target is for you.
