A good A1C number depends on your health status and whether you have diabetes or prediabetes. Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, as recommended by healthcare providers. However, your specific goal may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and risk of complications. Always consult your doctor to determine the best A1C target for you.
