The average diabetes reading, often measured by the A1C test, provides an overview of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the general ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For people with diabetes, the target A1C level is typically below 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and doctor recommendations.
