The HgbA1c test (or glycosylated hemoglobin) measures the average blood sugar present in a persons blood over the last 4-6 weeks. Unlike a glucose test which measures the blood sugar only at that time, this tests represents a better indicator of the overall status in indicating Diabetes may be present. Normal individuals will have an HgbA1c level of about 5-6; diabetic individuals will have levels increased to as much as 10-15. A rule of thumb is that HgbA1c of 6 is about equal to a blood glucose level of 120; every additional point higher the HgbA1c increases equals about another 30 points of blood sugar.
