Abnormal amount of glycated haemoglobin such as  A1c ≥ 48 mmol/mol (≥6.5%) may be an indication of diabetes. A1C ≥6.5%: The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) certified and standardized to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) assay, according to American diabetes association(42).
