An A1C level of 7% is generally considered elevated and indicates diabetes. Here’s what it means:
- A1C of 7% corresponds to an estimated average blood glucose level of 154 mg/dL.
- For most people with diabetes, the target A1C is below 7% to reduce the risk of complications.
However, your target may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and other medical conditions. Consult your healthcare provider to determine the best A1C goal for you.
