An A1C level of 6.9% indicates diabetes. 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 7% or less. However, your doctor may set a different goal based on your health condition. An A1C of 6.9% suggests that your blood sugar levels are elevated, and you should work with your healthcare provider to manage your diabetes through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring.
For more details, refer to the CDC's A1C Test Guide.
