Correct Answer:
Verified

The glucose in blood freely enters red blood cells and attaches to hemoglobin in direct proportion to the amount of glucose present. The percentage of HbA1c reflects glycemic control over the preceding 2 to 3 months, the average age of circulating red blood cells. The goal of diabetes treatment is usually an HbA1c value less than 7 percent. Less stringent HbA1c goals (for example, an HbA1c value less than 8 percent) may be suitable for some patients, including those with limited life expectancy, advanced diabetic complications, or a history of severe hypoglycemia. HbA1c testing is typically conducted two to four times yearly ​
