When ready, your results will be delivered in a clear, easy-to-understand report. If any results suggest a potential infection, you’ll receive a call from an independent healthcare coordinator. Independent physicians are also available to answer any questions or discuss your results in detail.

Test Details & What It Measures
An A1C test shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months and helps diagnose or manage diabetes. A normal A1C is below 5.7%. Levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate pre-diabetes, and 6.5% or higher may suggest diabetes. Regular testing helps you and your provider track progress and prevent complications—so you can stay in control of your health.
