Medical Definition of Haemoglobin A1C
1.
The substance of red blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells and sometimes joins with glucose.
Because the glucose stays attached for the life of the cell (about 4 months), a test to measure haemoglobin A1C shows what the person's average blood glucose level was for that period of time.
