The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the standard ranges for A1C results:
A1C Level (%) Diagnosis
Below 5.7 Normal
5.7 - 6.4 Prediabetes
6.5 or higher Diabetes
- Normal A1C: 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 typically indicates diabetes.
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C goal is less than 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
