A. Hemoglobin A1c is a test that indicates the average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months. If you have diabetes, you should have this test done regularly to see whether your blood sugar levels are staying within a target range. You can take a blood sample with a home testing kit and send the sample to a lab for testing, or you can be tested at your doctor's office.
