A normal A1C level for both men and women is generally below 5.7%. This indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are within a healthy range. Here’s a breakdown of A1C levels:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For individuals with diabetes, the target A1C level is typically 7% or less, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and doctor recommendations.
