is 5.8 a1c good

An A1C level of 5.8% is considered within the normal range but is slightly elevated. Here’s what it means:

• Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

While 5.8% is not in the prediabetes range, it is close to the threshold. It’s a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels and consider lifestyle changes such as:

• Healthy Diet: Focus on whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables.
• Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
• Weight Management: Maintain a healthy weight to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and regular check-ups.
