A good average glucose level, as measured by the A1C test, typically falls within the following ranges:
- 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, which corresponds to an estimated average glucose (eAG) of about 154 mg/dL. However, individual targets may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and medical history. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best goal for you.
Here’s a quick reference table for A1C and eAG:
