For individuals without diabetes, a normal A1C level is typically below 5.7%. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Maintaining an A1C level below 5.7% is generally considered healthy and indicates good blood sugar control. If your A1C is in the prediabetes range, it’s important to take steps to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management.
