The normal A1C level is the same for both men and women. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the following ranges apply:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most adults, including men, 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 with your healthcare provider to determine the best A1C goal for you.
