Unless there is some reason to run an HBA1c, it will not be done.

IIRC, you work in a lab, so you know that fasting BG is part of the
usual blood work conducted for routine exams. Unless the fasting BG or
a GTT is unusual or something else is suspected or being monitored for
some reason, they wouldn't even be able to code it to get an insurance
company to pay for an HBA1c.

Me? I get one every 3 months, but I am a diabetic. (Always below 6.0
for me)
