The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The following ranges are used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes:

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

If your A1C level is 6.5% or higher, it indicates diabetes. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and management plan if your A1C falls into the diabetic range.
