All About Your A-1-C
Your A-1-C is a blood sugar check "with a memory." It tells you your average blood sugar for the past two to three months.

The longer your A-1-C is near your target, the less risk you have for complications. Even if your A-1-C is higher than your target, lowering it by even one point will reduce your risk. If your number is 7 or higher, you may need a change in your diabetes care.


My last A-1-C was ________.

My target for my next A-1-C is ________.

My long-term goal for my A-1-C is ________.
