A much easier explanation to follow is put forth by Tom Ross on his web site at Not Medicated Yet: Your Non-Depressing Guide to Type 2 Diabetes. . You will need to scroll down to his post on Friday, November 19, 2010 as his blog is not set up to be able to take you directly to the discussion.
Hope this gives you a better idea about the A1c test.
