What does your A1C really tell you?
A1C is an important tool in diabetes care because it provides an estimate of your average blood glucose over approximately the past three months.
But your A1C is only one part of the picture. Your health history, glucose patterns, treatment goals, and overall well-being all matter.
Your care team can help you understand what your results mean for you.

Type 2 diabetes doesn't always come with obvious warning signs.

Family history, physical activity, weight, and other health factors can influence your risk. The good news? A conversation with your primary care provider can help you understand your individual risk and whether screening is appropriate.

Don't wait for symptoms to make your health a priority.

Your pharmacy is a part of your diabetes care team.

Know your risk. Understand your numbers. Take charge of your health.

November is American Diabetes Month®, a reminder that understanding your health is an important first step toward better health.
Diabetes can affect many aspects of your well-being, but awareness, routine screenings, and ongoing care can make a difference.
Whether you're managing diabetes, concerned about your risk, or simply due for a checkup, your care team can help you take the next step.
