This proportion of glycated hemoglobin doesn't change day to day, so it gives a sense for whether the blood glucose levels have been high over the past 2 to 3 months.

糖化血红蛋白的比例不会每天变化，所以它可以说明血糖水平是否已经持续走高2-3个月。

So that brings us to another type of test that can be done which is the HbA1c test, which tests for the proportion of hemoglobin in red blood cells that has glucose stuck to it - called glycated hemoglobin.

所以另一种可行的检测是HbA1c测试，来测验红细胞中被葡萄糖黏着的血红蛋白比例；这种血红蛋白也叫作糖化血红蛋白。
