The A1C test is used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. The A1C range for prediabetes is 5.7% to 6.4%. Here’s a breakdown of the A1C ranges:
A1C Range Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes
If your A1C falls within the prediabetes range, it indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. This is a critical time to take action to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management.
