The normal range for HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) levels is as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Maintaining an HbA1c level within the normal range is crucial for preventing diabetes-related complications. If your HbA1c is in the prediabetes or diabetes range, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
