what does negative mean for ac1 blood test

A negative result for an A1C blood test typically means that your blood sugar levels are within the normal range and there is no indication of prediabetes or diabetes. Here’s what the A1C results generally indicate:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

If your A1C test result is negative (below 5.7%), it suggests that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are healthy. However, it’s still important to maintain a balanced diet, regular exercise, and periodic check-ups to monitor your health.

If you have specific concerns or risk factors, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.
