In 1990, its primary mission over, Voyager 1 was instructed to point its camera at Earth, or the Pale Blue Dot, 6 billion kilometers away. VOYAGER 1 has been beaming data to Earth since 1977. But members of mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California, are as excited as ever.
Cause of Elevated A1c Levels. The higher your blood sugar levels and the longer your blood sugar remains high, the more excess sugar is present in the blood and the more opportunities this excess sugar has to bond to hemoglobin.
The A1C test is a blood test used to measure the average level of glucose in the blood over the last two to three months, and is used as a means of checking how well blood sugar levels are being controlled for a person with diabetes.he reason why A1C, glycated hemoglobin, is an indicator of blood sugar levels is that some of the glucose in the blood binds to hemoglobin, the protein found in red blood cells and responsible for transporting oxygen around the circulation.
