✓ Correct answer: C. HbA1c The best measure of long-term glycemic control is HbA1c.<br/><br/>This gives an evaluation of a client’s glycemic control for the past 3 months and is the best guide for future medication choices.<br/><br/>BUN/creatinine measures kidney function and would only reflect chronically poor glycemic control to the point of kidney damage.<br/><br/>Morning and hourly blood sugars are helpful, but do not reflect prolonged glycemic control.
