A1C: shows your average blood sugar over roughly the last 2 to 3 months. MedlinePlus recommends it for adults over 45, every 1 to 2 years with prediabetes and at least twice a year with diabetes. See diabetes testing.

Questions worth asking about your results
Read moreClose
A clinician reviews your results with you. MedlinePlus suggests a few questions that help you understand them:
What does this result mean for me, given my symptoms and history?
Is any number outside the range, and does it matter?
Could a medicine, supplement or meal have affected it?
Do I need a recheck or another test?
Should I use the same lab next time to track changes?
Where is the closest lab draw to Lemont, IL in your network?
Both of our clinics are in Westmont, IL, about 8.5 miles north of Lemont, IL in a straight line. Coming up I-55 and Cass Ave, the main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave is first. Coming up Route 83 and Ogden Ave, the Jewel-Osco clinic at 4 E Ogden Ave is first. Both collect samples.
Do Lemont, IL seniors need to fast for an A1C?
Ask us before you come, and fast only if we tell you to. The A1C reflects your blood sugar over the past few months, but it is often drawn along with other tests, such as a cholesterol or metabolic panel, that may need fasting. When fasting is needed, plain water is fine, per MedlinePlus.
Does CountyCare cover lab work at your Westmont, IL clinics?
CountyCare is on our list of accepted plans, and it is a Medicaid plan for Cook County residents, which includes most of Lemont, IL. Coverage for specific tests can vary, so call (630) 324-6825 before your visit to confirm. We explain any costs before a test is ordered.
Can a telehealth visit replace the drive for lab work?
Not for the sample itself. Blood and urine have to be collected in person. A telehealth visit can help a clinician decide whether you need testing at all and what to bring, which can save a wasted trip from Lemont, IL. If testing is needed, the clinician will tell you.
What should I bring to a blood draw if I'm coming from Lemont, IL?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance or Medicare card, and a written list of medicines and supplements with doses. Add any lab order from another doctor and copies of recent results, since MedlinePlus notes that reference ranges differ between labs. If a school or work form lists specific tests, bring that too.
