How the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel Is Performed: Specimen and Draw

The Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site. A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel is analyzed.

How to Prepare for the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel

Wearing a short-sleeved top gives the collection staff easy access for the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel. If you take medications, keep a list ready to discuss with the collection staff or your provider. Unless told otherwise, most people do not need to fast for the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel. Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel run smoothly.

Accuracy and Limitations of the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel

The Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel is run by a licensed laboratory, and like any test it has limitations. A result from the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel reflects the sample at the time it was collected and does not capture every factor. The accuracy of the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel depends on proper sample collection and on the laboratory method used. A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the Hemoglobin A1Cs Panel is best interpreted with a provider.
