A good level of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) depends on whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or are managing your blood sugar levels. Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, but your doctor may set a different goal based on your individual health needs. Maintaining a healthy A1C level is crucial for reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.
