What is a good HBA1C test result?
HbA1c is your average blood glucose (sugar) level for the last two to three months. If you have diabetes, an ideal HbA1c level is 48mmol/mol (6.5%) or below.

The significance of the HbA1c test lies in the diagnosis and the prognosis of the diabetes patients, which lends it to a detailed understanding of insulin and insulin resistance.
One needs to take immediate action as anything above 6.5 means that one has diabetes.
It is important for diabetics to have their A1C checked as it helps them to keep a check on diabetes.
The disadvantage of HbA1c is that it changes slowly. So any change you make to your diet, exercise or medication will take 6 weeks to show its effect, and the full impact of doing something different might not be visible for 2-3 months.
