It's called a hemoglobin A1C.
The link tells all about the test and the range that you should keep your sugars within.

The Hba1c test shows this to a certain extent. It is more weighted on the last 3 or 4 weeks.
It measures the amount of glucose that has attached to red blood cells, which live for an average of 120 days. It tells you only about the preceding 120 days at most.
