A1C is a three month average, doctors take such test every three months.
I tend to disagree...correct me if I'm wrong but if it's an AVERAGE of your last three month's blood sugar levels, then wouldn't that number start to decrease as soon as you regulated your blood sugar? Example: if an 8.2 A1C means your average blood sugar level is ranging around 200-250, then as soon as that number drops (say to 100-150) for a while (a few weeks or even a month or so) then that average would drop.
***this is what my nurse told me because i need my a1c lowered for a surgery....she said that because the levels are taken for the 3 month average 60% of that is actually correct and 40% of it is off, and because of that you can see a difference of a1c levels in a month if you can regulate your blood glucose well so yes if you start getting your numbers down you a1c will go down.***

∙ 14y agoIt depends on what kinda Diabetes you are talking about and what time frame you are looking at. A few hours time frame, for a type 1 diabetic, taking a fast acting insulin will lower blood sugars quickly.
If you are looking at the hemoglobin A1C, it all depends on how well a diabetic is trying to manage their diabetes.

Can hemoglobin shots be hazardous to your health?
Hemoglobin is the protein contained within red blood cells which binds O2 in the lungs and releases it when the cell reaches the capillaries. Hemoglobin is extremely important for maintaining health, and indeed a lack of hemoglobin is more commonly a problem than too high hemoglobin, as the body does not receive enough oxygen from the air you breathe.How hazardous hemoglobin shots are depends on what exactly you are referring to. However, the general principle applies: Everything can be hazardous if it exists at incorrect levels in the body. Tampering with something as vital as hemoglobin in particular can be dangerous, and you should not take any such product without consulting a physician.

Are plant hemoglobin and animal hemoglobin homologous structures?
Only vertebrates and some invertebrates have hemoglobin. Plants don't need hemoglobin (and therefore don't have any) to take up oxygen because they can do so via their stomatal openings in their leaves.
