what is a non diabetic a1c

A non-diabetic A1C level refers to the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is coated with sugar (glycated hemoglobin) in individuals who do not have diabetes. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. For non-diabetic individuals, the A1C levels typically fall within the following ranges:

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

A non-diabetic A1C level is generally considered to be below 5.7%. If your A1C is between 5.7% and 6.4%, you may be diagnosed with prediabetes, which indicates a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help keep your A1C levels within the normal range.
