An A1C level of 6.7% indicates diabetes, as the diagnostic threshold for diabetes is 6.5% or higher. Here’s what the A1C ranges mean:

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

For most people with diabetes, the target A1C goal is below 7%, but this may vary depending on individual health conditions. If your A1C is 6.7%, it’s important to work with your healthcare provider to manage your blood sugar levels through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring.
