One number that summarizes months of glucose control.
What It Reflects
Sugar bound to hemoglobin over the red cell's lifespan, roughly the past 8–12 weeks.
The Thresholds
Below 5.7% normal, 5.7–6.4% prediabetes, 6.5% and above diabetes; targets for people with diabetes are usually around 7%.
Why It Matters for Surgery
Poor control raises infection and healing risks; partner hospitals require an HbA1c before elective procedures, which Clinic-Y arranges in advance.
