Metabolic — Glycemic Control

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

HbA1c estimates average blood glucose over the prior ~90 days.

Reference range

Reference ranges vary by lab, age and sex. Your own lab report carries the authoritative range, and your clinician reads it with you.

Why it matters

HbA1c is the standard 3-month integrator of glycemic control. In a longevity context, the goal is well below the diabetic threshold — persistent mid-5s already correlates with progression risk. HbA1c is read alongside fasting insulin and fasting glucose to distinguish metabolic dysfunction from a single high-carb day.

How REVRCEL clinicians read it

Triangulate with fasting insulin and fasting glucose. Treat the upstream signal, not the single value.

Common questions

What HbA1c is optimal?

Targets are individualized; your clinician reads your result with you.

Can GLP-1 medications lower HbA1c?

Yes — GLP-1 receptor agonists are well-established to reduce HbA1c in members with elevated baseline.
