Diabetes numbers refer to blood sugar levels that are used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Here are the key ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7% (A1C) or less than 100 mg/dL (fasting blood glucose)
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% (A1C) or 100 to 125 mg/dL (fasting blood glucose)
- Diabetes: 6.5% or higher (A1C) or 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting blood glucose)
These numbers help healthcare providers determine if you have diabetes or are at risk for developing it. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional are essential for managing diabetes effectively.
