Type 1 Diabetes: This form of diabetes is typically diagnosed in children and young adults, where the body produces very little or no insulin. Management includes insulin therapy, diet, and lifestyle adjustments.

Type 2 Diabetes: More common in adults, this type occurs when the body doesn't use insulin properly, which over time can lead to the body not producing enough insulin. It can often be managed through lifestyle changes, oral medications, and sometimes insulin.

Long-Term Glucose Control: The test tracks average glucose levels over 8 to 12 weeks, offering a broader perspective on blood sugar management compared to daily testing.

Risk Assessment for Complications: Consistently high HbA1c levels can indicate poor blood sugar control, which is associated with an increased risk of serious health issues, including heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and eye problems. 

Management for Diabetics: For those already diagnosed with diabetes, the HbA1c test assesses how well their condition is managed. It helps determine whether blood glucose levels are staying within the desired range, influencing decisions on medication adjustments, dietary changes, and exercise plans.
