HbA1c
HbA1c estimates average blood glucose over the preceding months, while some health conditions and measurement factors may affect interpretation.
SomaZeus display band
For care decisions, use the interval printed by the reporting lab and ask your clinician. Labs, assay methods, and individual context vary; the numbers below are SomaZeus display guidance.
Watch points
- Watch point 1: at or above 6.5 %
- Watch point 2: at or above 5.7 %
SomaZeus uses the same watch points for men and women in this display.
Why hard-training athletes watch it
HbA1c may add longer-term context beside fasting glucose, but a change cannot be assigned to nutrition, activity, or another cause without clinician interpretation.
When to retest
Ask your clinician whether and when a repeat is appropriate and which related measurements are useful for comparison.
Talk to your clinician
Review HbA1c with your clinician alongside fasting glucose, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and the reporting lab interval.
