Solutions That Work
Our trusted staff of obesity-certified medical providers can help you take control of your health and transform your life with proven long-term solutions.
A high A1C level is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes and other serious health conditions. At Options Medical Weight Loss, we help patients understand their A1C levels and reduce them through medically-guided weight loss and lifestyle changes. Our programs are designed to stabilize blood sugar, improve metabolic function, and reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
What Is A1C?
A1C is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. It helps identify whether you have pre-diabetes, diabetes, or are at risk of developing either. An A1C of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates pre-diabetes, while 6.5% or higher may indicate diabetes. By lowering your A1C, you can improve your health, avoid complications, and even reverse pre-diabetes.
