Diabetes is diagnosed based on specific blood sugar levels. Here are the key thresholds:
- Normal: Below 5.7% A1C or fasting blood glucose (FBG) below 100 mg/dL.
- Prediabetes: A1C between 5.7% to 6.4% or FBG between 100-125 mg/dL.
- Diabetes: A1C of 6.5% or higher, or FBG of 126 mg/dL or higher.
These levels are used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. If your results fall into the diabetic range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
