Methodology

Colorimetric and Turbidometric Immunoinhibition

Testing Schedule

Routine, Monday-Saturday

Report Availability

1-3 days (may be delayed if hemoglobin variants detected)

Minimum Volume

2 mL whole blood

Container

Lavender top tube, EDTA

Special Instructions

Store as whole blood in original tube.

Clinical Utility

The Hemoglobin A1c assay, expressed as the percent of hemoglobin that is glycated, measures chronic glycemia and is widely used to judge the adequacy of diabetes treatment and adjust therapy. Day-to-day management is guided by self monitoring of capillary glucose concentrations, expressed in units consistent with venous glucose measurements (mg/dL).

Reference Range

Nondiabetic

< 5.7

Prediabetic

5.7 – 6.4

Diabetic

>= 6.5

Target for diabetic control

<= 7.0

Includes

  • Hemoglobin A1c (HA1C)
  • Estimated average glucose (eAG)
