is 5.6 prediabetes

An A1C level of 5.6% is considered normal and does not indicate prediabetes. According to the CDC and other medical guidelines:

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

While 5.6% is within the normal range, it’s still important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes in the future. Regular check-ups and monitoring are recommended, especially if you have other risk factors such as obesity, family history, or a sedentary lifestyle.
