what is your a1c level supposed to be

Your A1C level is a measure of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The target A1C level varies depending on your health condition and age, but generally:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

For most people with diabetes, the goal is to maintain an A1C level of 7% or less. However, your doctor may set a different target based on your individual health needs. Regular monitoring and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help you achieve and maintain your target A1C level.
