The target A1C level varies depending on individual health conditions, but general guidelines 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 maintain an A1C level of 7% or less. However, your doctor may set a different target based on your age, overall health, and other factors. Regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments are key to managing your A1C levels effectively.
