Order Hemoglobin A1C TestingHemoglobin A1C testing measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in the blood, reflecting average blood glucose levels over the preceding two to three months. Because the measurement integrates glucose exposure over time rather than capturing a single moment, it serves as a stable indicator of longer-term glycemic status.
About Hemoglobin A1C Testing in Eugene
The Hemoglobin A1C Panel reports the A1C value, which describes the proportion of hemoglobin molecules that have glucose attached.
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells. When glucose circulates in the bloodstream, it can bind to hemoglobin in a process called glycation. Once bound, the glucose remains attached for the lifespan of the red blood cell, which is roughly 120 days.
Because red blood cells are continually replaced, the A1C value reflects a weighted average of glucose exposure, with recent weeks contributing more heavily than earlier ones. This makes the test useful for assessing sustained glycemic patterns rather than short-term fluctuations.
The sample is collected as a blood draw, typically from a vein in the arm. Results are reported as a percentage. Turnaround is generally one to three business days. Follow the lab's instructions regarding any preparation before the draw.
