An A1C level of 5.4% is considered normal and is not bad. Here’s what the A1C ranges mean:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
A 5.4% A1C indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are within a healthy range. However, it’s still important to maintain a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine check-ups to ensure your levels stay in the normal range.
