The normal A1C level is typically below 5.7%. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:

A1C Level Diagnosis

Below 5.7% Normal
5.7% - 6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes

  • Normal: Below 5.7% indicates healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% suggests an increased risk of developing diabetes.
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or higher typically indicates diabetes.

Maintaining an A1C level within the normal range is crucial for preventing diabetes-related complications. If your A1C is elevated, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
