Take Charge of Your Health – Get Your A1C Test Today!
If you’re looking to monitor or improve your health, A1C testing is a simple yet powerful step. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months and is essential in detecting prediabetes and diagnosing diabetes. Here’s what you need to know about this valuable tool:
Who Should Get Tested?
The A1C test is recommended for:
- Anyone over 45 years of age
- People under 45 who are overweight and have one or more risk factors, such as family history, high blood pressure, or a sedentary lifestyle
- Those already diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes for ongoing monitoring
What’s Next After Testing?
Based on your results, you and your HCC healthcare provider can develop a plan that may include lifestyle changes, diet, exercise, or, if needed, medication. Regular A1C testing helps you stay on track with your health goals and prevent complications before they arise.
A Quick, Simple Test that Could Change Your Life.
Your A1C level can be a powerful indicator of your health, and the sooner you know your numbers, the better equipped you’ll be to make proactive decisions. So why wait? Schedule your A1C test today and take control of your health journey!
A1C Testing is available at all of our clinics including Concordia, Lexington, Carrollton, Waverly, Buckner and Independence, MO.
