An A1C level below 6.5% is generally considered to be outside the diabetic range. However, achieving an A1C below 6.5% does not mean diabetes is cured; it indicates that blood sugar levels are well-managed. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:

A1C Range Classification

Below 5.7% Normal
5.7% to 6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or higher Diabetes

If your A1C drops below 6.5%, it’s important to continue monitoring and maintaining healthy habits to prevent blood sugar levels from rising again. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
