what is a good glucose management indicator

A good glucose management indicator is typically measured by the Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test. This test provides an average of your blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months. Here’s what the results mean:

• 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 less than 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and your doctor's recommendations.

Why A1C is Important:

• It reflects long-term glucose control.
• It helps in adjusting treatment plans.
• It reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine your specific A1C goal.
