what is a low a1c level

A low A1C level typically refers to a value below the normal range, which is generally considered to be below 5.7%. However, the interpretation of a low A1C level can vary depending on individual health conditions and medical history.

• Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

A very low A1C level (e.g., below 4%) could indicate conditions such as frequent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), anemia, or other underlying health issues. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to understand the implications of a low A1C level and to determine if further investigation or treatment is needed.
