Long-Term Blood Sugar Assessment

A1C testing measures the amount of sugar covering hemoglobin (a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body). Tracking blood sugar levels over the course of multiple months provides valuable insight into your ongoing health, allowing you to make lifestyle changes as needed to avoid complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you test your A1C at home?

Yes, you can use an over-the-counter A1C test kit for convenient at-home testing.

How do I store and use A1C home test kits?

To prevent inaccurate readings when using an A1C test at home, store your kit at room temperature away from heat and humidity. Discard expired tests. Wash your hands thoroughly before use.

Testing methods may vary depending on the manufacturer and product. Before you check your A1C at home, read the instructions included in the kit.

Typically, testing involves placing a droplet of blood onto a strip that has been inserted into the monitor. The screen will show data that can be shared with a diabetes health care professional and used to form a diabetes management plan.

How do A1C ranges work?

The value shown on A1C test kits is based on multiple factors, including age, health, quality of life, existing complications, risk of hypoglycemia, and life expectancy.

If you have any questions about the values shown on your A1C test at home, talk to a health care professional.

Normal range: 4.5% - 5.6%
Pre-diabetes range: 5.7% - 6.4%
Diabetes range: 6.5% or above
Controlled diabetes: This range should be discussed with your health care professional.

What are some lifestyle tips for lowering A1C levels?

Exercise daily, especially about 30 minutes after eating a meal.
Follow a healthy, portion-controlled diet that consists largely of whole foods.
Avoid skipping meals.
Take medications on time as directed by a health care professional.
Monitor blood glucose levels daily.

Should I test my A1C with an at-home kit or at a lab?

Even the most accurate A1C test at home may not be as accurate as a lab test. Home kits are valuable resources for tracking your progress and making lifestyle decisions, but lab tests may still be necessary to obtain extremely accurate, highly detailed results.

What is the best A1C home test kit?

The TRUEplus A1CNow Self Check Test System is a very popular choice. A health care professional can recommend an A1C test kit based on your unique needs and preferences.
