An A1C level of 5.8% is generally considered normal and not indicative of diabetes. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:

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

For someone with diabetes, an A1C of 5.8% would be excellent, as it indicates good blood sugar control. However, it’s important to note that individual targets may vary based on factors like age, health conditions, and treatment plans. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best A1C goal for you.
