I still don’t. I’m reading it as Airman 1st Class.

It's a measure of your blood glucose level over the past 3 months.

What does it stand for?

I'm so old, I remember doing a day of physical labor, and not feeling stiff and sore the next day...

This is me today. Moving slowly but at least moving.

It's the name of the test, not an acronym.

"The A1C test measures the amount of hemoglobin with attached glucose and reflects your average blood glucose levels over the past 3 months. The A1C test result is reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher your blood glucose levels have been. A normal A1C level is below 5.7 percent."

I'm so old I remember when stores yep customer charge accounts on paper ledgers and filing cards.

I once had a job keeping such paper ledgers. Was an easy job, I knew almost everyone in my small town.

When they tried to promote me to collections, I put in my notice. I did not want to do that so I found a new job as fast as I could.

I always read that as a "hemogoblin".

I don't know about you, but now I am laughing at the idea of tiny little goblins in your blood .

Just wait until you learn about cooperative binding of oxygen to hemoglobin!

This article could be presented more effectively

“Percent oxygen saturation as a function of oxygen partial pressure (torrs) is displayed below for Hemoglobin (HbA) and a theoretical non-cooperative oxygen transport protein (NC).”

I'm so old I used these in my first three or four jobs, retail and fast food. Remember that sound?
