Why Is HbA1c Important?

Unlike daily blood sugar tests, which show immediate levels, HbA1c reflects your overall blood sugar control over time. Maintaining a healthy HbA1c reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as:

  • Heart disease
  • Kidney damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Vision problems

Maintaining healthy HbA1C levels is important for managing blood sugar and reducing the risk of complications from diabetes.
