An A1C level of 5% is 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
An A1C of 5% suggests that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are within a healthy range. However, it’s always a good idea to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to ensure you’re maintaining optimal health.
