Get a hemoglobin A1C blood sugar test at a lab near you for $34.16 . Results in 3-5 business days. The A1C blood sugar test measures your average blood sugar over the last 3 months. High blood sugar could mean you have diabetes or prediabetes.
Our A1C blood sugar testing service lets you understand your blood sugar levels without having to go to a doctor’s office before you go to the lab. If the A1C test shows you have high blood sugar levels then this could be a sign that you have diabetes or prediabetes. Another name for the A1C test is the HbA1c test.
The A1C test shows your average blood sugar levels over the last 3 months. By comparison, most home tests tell you your blood sugar level at a single point in time.
Unlike other online lab testing services, our doctors or nurse practitioners help you interpret your A1C test results based on your medical history. That’s why we ask you some health questions when you order the test.
Quest Diagnostics runs our A1C blood sugar test. We order the same A1C lab test that all doctor's offices order. The test looks at your blood sugar/glucose levels. The test doesn’t look for anything else.
The lab test itself only costs you $9.16 because we’ve negotiated great prices to keep your costs low.
Quest Diagnostics has thousands of locations around the country.
It’s important to select one that allows you to book an appointment online. You don’t need to actually book an appointment, but if the location lets you book online appointments, then we know they’re connected to the online ordering system that we use to order your STD test.
Approximately 30 million Americans have diabetes. 7 million Americans have diabetes and don’t know it. 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year.
5% of diabetics have type 1 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes your body doesn’t produce insulin. 95% of diabetics have type 2 diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes your body doesn’t use insulin properly.
The A1C blood sugar test is a very common way to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. You need two tests on two separate days to diagnose diabetes. An A1C test isn’t the only way to diagnose diabetes, but the alternatives can require you to fast (not eat anything) before the test or to drink a special liquid.
Prediabetes is the term doctors or nurse practitioners use to describe your situation if your blood sugar levels are higher than where they should be, but not yet high enough to diagnose diabetes. Prediabetes puts you at greater risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Evidence shows you can reduce your risk of developing diabetes if you can lose 7% of your body weight and exercise moderately 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
The symptoms below are typical if you have diabetes. However, some people with type 2 diabetes may not notice any symptoms.
