A1C levels are a measure of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The results are given as a percentage, and the ranges are as follows:

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

For most people with diabetes, the goal is to keep A1C levels below 7%. However, your specific target may vary based on your age, health conditions, and other factors. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine your ideal A1C level.
