If you have diabetes, you know it's important to get the A1c test every 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the type of diabetes. This test:

  • Measures your average blood sugar levels
  • Shows how well you're managing diabetes
  • Identifies risk for diabetic complications
  • Helps your doctor determine what treatments are best for you

We know that getting these tests can really add up. Depending on where you get your blood work done, you could be paying more than you need to. Prices for lab work vary significantly. This means that the exact same A1c test may cost $35 at one lab and $60 at another lab just down the street. And getting your tests done at a hospital can cost even more!

The good news is that we’ve done the homework. We can show you how labs near you rank when it comes to price and quality, so you can choose wisely.
