What is HbA1c in a diabetic patient?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 27 weeks pregnant, and my recent tests show HbA1c of 5.3. I also underwent an OGCT, and I am attaching the report. I am concerned about gestational diabetes and would like you to check my results and advise whether I am at risk or not.
