Diabetes blood sugar levels are categorized into three main ranges based on the A1C test or fasting blood glucose test:
- Normal:
- A1C: Below 5.7%
- Fasting Blood Glucose: Less than 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes:
- A1C: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Fasting Blood Glucose: 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Diabetes:
- A1C: 6.5% or above
- Fasting Blood Glucose: 126 mg/dL or higher
These levels help diagnose and monitor diabetes. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for managing diabetes effectively.
