The prediabetic range for the A1C test is 5.7% to 6.4%. This range indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. If your A1C falls within this range, it is important to take steps to manage your blood sugar to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Here’s a quick reference:
A1C Range Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes
If your A1C is in the prediabetic range, consult your healthcare provider for advice on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to help lower your risk.
