HbA1c
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. It measures how much glucose has been sticking to your red blood cells. While fasting glucose shows how you're doing right now, HbA1c shows how you've been doing long-term. It's a strong indicator of insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility, and aging rate—and one of the best predictors of chronic disease risk when elevated.HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.
