The nurse is providing care for a woman with Type 1 Diabetes. Which of the following is true for the laboratory test for Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1C

An A1c shows the amount of hemoglobin the liver can absorb.

An A1c provides current glucose levels in the blood.

An A1c would be considered good diabetic control with results of 46%

An A1c is done between 24 to 28 weeks on all pregnant women.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. The A1c test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, not the liver’s ability to absorb hemoglobin.

B. The A1c test does not provide current glucose levels in the blood but reflects long-term glucose control.

C. An A1c of 46% (6.5%) is a generally accepted target for good diabetic control, reflecting long-term blood glucose levels.

D. An A1c test is typically done every 3 months for people with diabetes, not routinely between 24 to 28 weeks in all pregnant women unless they have diabetes.
