An A1C level of 5.7% is considered normal but falls into the prediabetes range. Here's what the A1C ranges mean:
A1C Range Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal 5.7% to 6.4% Prediabetes 6.5% or above Diabetes
- 5.7% to 6.4%: Indicates prediabetes, which means you are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management can help lower your risk.
- 6.5% or above: Indicates diabetes, and you should consult a healthcare provider for a management plan.
If your A1C is 5.7%, it’s a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and discuss preventive measures with your doctor.
