what are diabetic numbers

Diabetic numbers refer to blood sugar levels that indicate diabetes or prediabetes. These are typically measured using the A1C test, fasting blood glucose test, or oral glucose tolerance test. Here are the standard ranges:

• Normal:
  • A1C: Below 5.7%
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: Less than 100 mg/dL
• Prediabetes:
  • A1C: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: 100 to 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes:
  • A1C: 6.5% or higher
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: 126 mg/dL or higher

If your numbers fall into the prediabetes or diabetes range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
