All about the A1c test

      
    

    
    

      
      
        
An A1c (HbA1c) test is a lab test that helps evaluate your blood sugar levels over the past 90 days. It’s a quick, convenient way to determine if you have prediabetes or diabetes. 

      
      
      
        
If you scored medium or high on the "Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test", we suggest adding an A1c test to screen your risk prediabetes or diabetes.

      
      
      
        
Great news, in most areas you can take an A1c test right at home. We’ll send a lab technician to your home (where available) or direct you to a  patient service center near you. 

      
      
      
        
After reviewing your results, a 9amHealth medical expert will schedule a consultation and create a custom care plan that fits your needs.

Understanding your A1c result

    
Testing your A1c level is a quick, convenient way to screen for prediabetes or diabetes. The result is reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher your blood sugar levels have been over the past 2-3 months.

        Great service!
      

      

        I work in the healthcare profession, I am very reluctant to go to a physician, because it’s so hard to get an appointment! Got my lab work done within a week and had medications that I probably should’ve been on for the last 10 years. So convenient I really wish this had been available a long time ago.

Is there a difference between HbA1c and A1c?

      
No. A1c is just the quick way to write HbA1c. HbA1c is the abbreviation for Hemoglobin A1c.

    
    
    
      
How often should I check my A1c?

      
If you’re living with prediabetes, taking the A1c test once yearly is a good idea.


If you’re living with diabetes, taking the A1c test 2 to 4 times per year is recommended.

    
    
    
      
What’s the difference between A1c and a blood glucose test?

      
An A1c test shows the average glucose levels in your body over the past three months. A blood glucose test shows the current concentration of glucose in your bloodstream.

    
    
    
      
What are the symptoms of diabetes?

      
Things like frequent urination (often at night), feeling very thirsty, tired, or hungry, losing weight without trying, blurry vision, numb or tingling hands or feet, dry skin, sores that heal slowly, and more infections than usual are all symptoms that could be indicating diabetes. But more often, you don’t feel anything.

    
    
    
      
What factors put me at risk for diabetes?

      
If you’re 35 years or older and overweight (BMI >=25, or >=23 for Asian-Americans). Adults of any age with additional risk factors, including a parent, brother, or sister with type 2 diabetes. If you are overweight and physically active less than three times a week, you have polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you are African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native American, Alaska Native, or have had gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy).

    
    
    
      
Will a change in health & fitness help with diabetes?

      
Frequent exercise has been shown to improve blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Our Care Team can help you to establish healthy lifestyle routines that fit your life.

    
    
    
      
Do you also offer lab tests?

      
Yes, we're offering the following lab tests: 


    

  • A1c to measure your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months
    • 

  • Lipid Panel for heart health
    • 

  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel for liver and kidney health and electrolyte balance (available in select locations) 
    • 

  • Urine microalbumin test for kidney health (available in select locations) 
    • 



In select areas, we send a lab technician to your home to draw your blood. If at-home labs are unavailable in your area, you can visit your nearest lab (patient service center) to have your blood drawn. 


Results are available in your 9am account within 48-72 hours.

    
    
    
      
How does lab testing work? 

      
We offer two types of lab tests, depending on where you live: 


    

  • At-home labs: 
    • 



Once you schedule your appointment online, we’ll send a licensed lab technician to your home or workplace. They will draw your blood just like in a lab but in the comfort of your home. Your blood sample will be taken to a lab, and 2-3 days later, you’ll receive your results via your 9amHealth account. At-home labs are available in 30 states.


    

  • Lab visit: 
    • 



If at-home labs are not available in your area, we’ll match you with your nearest Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics patient service center (over 4,000 locations across the U.S.). You can schedule your appointment online, or you can choose to walk in. Lab results will be available within 1-2 days in your 9amHealth account. 


All lab tests include a free consultation with a member of our Care Team to review your results and recommend the next steps.
