Treatment and symptoms of HbA1c 5 % | Diet for normal Glycosylated hemoglobin level 5 %

Normal HbA1c level of 5 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal HbA1c level of 5 indicates your average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months.

What to do after HbA1c blood test?

If bleeding occurs after your HbA1c test, raise your arm and apply pressure to the spot for at least 3 minutes. It’s normal to see some bruising after a HbA1c blood draw. If you feel pain following the HbA1c test, apply ice wrapped in a towel to the area for 10 minutes. For anything more than mild discomfort, contact your doctor.
