Hemoglobin A1C is a blood work that look at see if you have diabetes. All right? And anything over 7 is diabetic, anything between over 6.1 to 7 pre diabetic range. Diabetes means that you have high blood sugar in your blood more than normal, and that the insulin that is supposed to be secreted in your bloodstream that bring down the blood sugar if not working as well as it should. So it's a good marker to see if you have diabetes, and if you have diabetes, a good marker to see where you are in your blood sugar management. Oftentimes, actually, what I see a lot in my patient is that an ED will present first and then the blood work revealed that they actually have diabetes. So interestingly, men that has ED should be screened for diabetes.
