[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1609353, member: 438800"] HbA1c measures the average blood glucose level over the previous 8 to 12 weeks. It is not affected by anything that happens on the day of the test, or in recent few days. There is a "margin of error" too. The difference between 46 and 45 is not statistically significant. Edited to add full explanation, highly recommended: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html[/URL]. Edited again to add: The reason your doctor requested the fast is probably because s/he was also running a "fasting glucose test." This is a separate test, nothing to do with the A1C. [/QUOTE]
