In general, the goal is to have an A1C less than 7%. Your doctor may set a different goal for you.
If you’re meeting your blood glucose goals and your control is stable, have an A1C test done every six months. If your treatment plan has changed or you’re not meeting your goals, have an A1C test done every three months. Blood draws for A1C tests are done at a lab or in your doctor’s office. There are home collection kits, too. (For a list of these and other diabetes care products, see the American Diabetes Association’s Resource Guide, published every January in Diabetes Forecast and on www.diabetes.org.)
