The normal A1C level is typically below 5.7%. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges and their meanings:
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 control.
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% suggests an increased risk of developing diabetes.
- Diabetes: 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes.
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, but your doctor may set a different goal based on your health condition.
