A prediabetic A1C level is an indicator of higher-than-normal blood sugar levels, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. According to the CDC and other health organizations, the A1C ranges for prediabetes are:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C falls within the prediabetes range, it means you are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight can help reverse prediabetes and prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
