What is A1c?

The Hemoglobin A1c test is usually performed in a laboratory and is a measure of your overall average
blood glucose level over the previous 2 to 3 months.
It is considered to be
the
“Gold Standard”
in monitoring
and an essential part of a person’s comprehensive diabetes
management program. Kind

How the program works
1. Tell us you want to participate. We will then
contact your doctor to get approval for you to
participate in this program.
2. If authorized by your doctor, we will send you
an A1c test kit to your home. You then perform
the simple finger stick A1c test and return
the sample to our lab with the included
prepaid envelope.
3. We analyze the sample and the results will be
sent to you and your doctor.
4. Then, depending upon the frequency that your
doctor orders the test, you will receive the next
test in approximately 3 months*.
