is a a1c of 6 bad

An A1C level of 6% is generally considered normal and indicates good blood sugar control. Here’s what the A1C ranges mean:

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

While an A1C of 6% is not bad, it’s important to monitor it regularly, especially if you have risk factors for diabetes. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help keep your A1C in the normal range.
