what is the average diabetes reading

The average diabetes reading, often measured by the A1C test, provides an overview of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the general ranges:

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

For people with diabetes, the target A1C level is typically below 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and doctor recommendations.
