The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes:
- 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 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.
