Thus, by measuring attached glucose in a current blood sample, average blood sugar levels over the previous two to three months can be determined. Equating the two, the 126 blood glucose goal is the same as a 6.2 HbA1c result. When interpreting hemoglobin tests, one should keep in mind that results differ depending on the test method used. Also, realize that HbA1c results may reflect the averaging of a period of high glucose with a period of low glucose, as opposed to the consistent readings required for good control. To best understand your own HbA1c results, always consult your healthcare professional.
