Blood sugar levels for diabetes are typically categorized as follows:

  • Normal: Below 5.7% (A1C) or less than 100 mg/dL (fasting glucose)
  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% (A1C) or 100-125 mg/dL (fasting glucose)
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or higher (A1C) or 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting glucose)

These ranges are used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to understand how these levels apply to your specific situation.
