The blood sugar level ranges for diabetes are typically categorized as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7% (A1C) or less than 100 mg/dL (fasting glucose)
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% (A1C) or 100–125 mg/dL (fasting glucose)
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above (A1C) or 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting glucose)
These ranges are used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months, while fasting glucose measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast.
It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to interpret your results and determine the appropriate management plan.
