Diabetes levels are typically determined by blood sugar measurements, including the A1C test, fasting blood glucose, and oral glucose tolerance tests. Here’s a breakdown of the ranges:
A1C Test Results:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Fasting Blood Glucose Levels:
- Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT):
- Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 140 to 199 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher
These levels help diagnose and monitor diabetes. If your results fall into the prediabetes or diabetes range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
