The average blood glucose level can be estimated using the A1C test, which reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here’s a general guide:
A1C % Estimated Average Glucose (mg/dL)
6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240
- Normal: Below 5.7% A1C (less than 117 mg/dL average glucose)
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% A1C (117–137 mg/dL average glucose)
- Diabetes: 6.5% or higher A1C (140 mg/dL or higher average glucose)
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C is below 7%, which corresponds to an average blood glucose of about 154 mg/dL. However, individual targets may vary based on your health condition and doctor's recommendations.
