[ShooterGeorge]

HbA1C. It is not actually blood sugar test but gives information about immediate after effect of blood sugar increase. This effect will last for three months. Sugar (glucose) in blood gets attached to hemoglobin in red blood cells. HbA1c is the percentage of RBCs so affected. This may be adversely affecting the normal functions (like oxygen transportation from lungs to cells) of RBCs. The value of HbA1c gives an indication of blood sugar level during the previous three months. There are 2-3 empirical formulae (formulas) to calculate average blood sugar value from HbA1c value.
