- HgbA1c

Health Screening DOs
- Do drink plenty of water 24 hours prior to your screening.
- Do take prescription medications as directed by your doctor.
- Do wear clothing with loose fitting sleeves to the screening.
- If you are diabetic: Schedule your appointment earlier in the morning so fasting time does not extend late into the morning.
- It is okay to brush your teeth prior to the screening.
- Do take the results of your health screening to regular doctor’s appointments so that labs do not need to be repeated. This saves you and the plan money.
|
