is a1c 6.7 bad

An A1C level of 6.7% is considered diabetic according to standard guidelines. Here’s what it means:

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

An A1C of 6.7% indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are higher than normal. This level suggests that your diabetes may not be well-controlled, and you should consult your healthcare provider to discuss management strategies, including lifestyle changes and possibly medication.
