Many people with hemoglobin variants have no symptoms. You might be at risk for having a hemoglobin variant if
- you are of African, Mediterranean, or Southeast Asian heritage
- members of your family have sickle cell trait or sickle cell anemia
- the results of your self blood glucose monitoring don’t match the results of your A1C test
- your A1C result is different than expected
- your A1C result is high—more than 15 percent
- your most recent A1C result is very different from your last A1C result
Laboratory tests can confirm whether you have a hemoglobin variant.
