Take your diabetes medications as prescribed on the day of testing unless your doctor gives different instructions. Bring your glucose log if you monitor at home.
Your results will show specific values with reference ranges. For A1C, results below 5.7% are normal, 5.7-6.4% indicate prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher suggest diabetes. Your doctor will explain what your numbers mean for your health plan.
Once your Glucose Test results are ready, you will receive a detailed report showing your values alongside reference ranges.
