Glycosolated haemoglobin is a blood test to determine level of glycaemic control.
HbA1c, or glycosylated hemoglobin, is a measure of the average glycemic control over a three-month period. Since the HBA1c complex is stored inside red blood cells, it lasts as long as the red blood cells live, for about 3 months. Thus, HBA1c reflects the combination of blood glucose in the fasting state as well as the glucose "spikes" that follow a meal.
glycosylated hemoglobin. Blood test shows average blood glucose level for the previous 90 days
A test to identify the average blood glucose level over the last 2-3 months. Also known as glycosylated haemoglobin, this test measures the amount of glucose that attaches to red blood cells which depends on how much glucose is in the bloodstream. If BGLs have been high over the 2-3 month period, more glucose will attach to the red blood cells and HbA1c will be high. If BGLs are mostly within the recommended range, then HbA1c will be closer to the desired level.

A laboratory test that tells your average blood sugar level over the last 2 to 3 months. Also called A1C, Hemoglobin A1C and Glycohemoglobin testing.
A laboratory test that tells your average blood glucose level over the last two to three months. Also called A1c, Hemoglobin A1c and Glycohemoglobin.
a blood test used to measure glycosylated haemoglobin levels which indicate glycaemic control.
Haemoglobin A1c. The level of HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose level over the past 3 months. HbA1c of 6.5% is excellent. HbA1c of more than 10% shows very poor control.
Also called glyco-haemoglobin or glycosylated haemoglobin; used to determine average blood sugar level for more than 1 month. Results are reported as percentage of haemoglobin molecules with sugar attached. HbA1c is 4.1–6.1% in people without diabetes.
