The goal for diabetic patients should be below 7%. However, it varies from person to person. Your personal goal can depend on your age, lifestyle, and existing medical conditions. Consult your doctor to set your HbA1c range. You should set a lower HbA1c range to minimize the risks of complications if you are a younger adult. Older adults may set a higher goal due to other severe health conditions.
Diabetic patients normally have higher levels of HbA1c in their blood. It is vital that they monitor their blood sugar level frequently. A higher level of HbA1c can lead to other health complications. It is essential to ensure that the diabetes is being managed properly. The test results can also be used as a diagnostic tool to assess if a person is prediabetic.
HbA1c is a useful test that indicates the average blood glucose level. A diabetic patient must take the test every 3 months. A prediabetic patient should get it once a year. An average person may get the test every 3 years.
According to The American Diabetes Association (ADA), a person above 35 years of age should start screening for diabetes. A person who is overweight or has other diabetic risk factors should also get the test regardless of age.
