what are healthy a1c levels

Healthy A1C levels are an important indicator of long-term blood sugar control. Here’s a breakdown of what the A1C levels mean:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is less than 7%. However, your doctor may set a different goal based on your age, health conditions, and other factors. Maintaining a healthy A1C level is crucial to reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.
