    I have Type 2 Diabetes. And I am often told to watch my A1C.

    What is a simple definition of A1C? When I ask people, either the definition is complex or the person doesn't know what they are talking about.

    :)

    Having been in the Air Force my first instinct was Airmen First Class (A1C)

    Sorry I suppose that doesn’t help

    It's a test that measures how much of your hemoglobin is coated with sugar.
