An A1C level of 5.4% 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
An A1C of 5.4% falls within the normal range, meaning your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are healthy. However, it's still important to maintain a balanced diet, regular exercise, and periodic check-ups to ensure your levels remain in the normal range.
