1. a form of hemoglobin in which glucose is chemically bound to the protein; used as a marker of average blood sugar levels over several weeks or months.
Usage: medical/clinical term; also called glycated hemoglobin or HbA1c

Examples

• Doctors measure glycohemoglobin levels to monitor long-term blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
• A high glycohemoglobin reading indicates that blood glucose has been elevated over the past two to three months.
• The patient's glycohemoglobin test showed improvement after six months of dietary changes.
• Glycohemoglobin is a more reliable indicator of diabetes management than a single blood glucose measurement.
• Regular glycohemoglobin testing helps healthcare providers adjust insulin doses for better diabetes control.
