An A1C level of 5.8% is considered within the normal range but is slightly elevated. Here’s what it means:
- Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
While 5.8% is not in the prediabetes range, it is close to the threshold. It may indicate that you should monitor your blood sugar levels more closely and consider lifestyle changes to maintain healthy levels. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
