The normal A1C level is the same for both males and females. According to the CDC and other health organizations:
- Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most adults, including females, an A1C level below 5.7% is considered normal. However, individual targets may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and medical history. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
