A good HbA1c level depends on your health status and whether you have diabetes or prediabetes. Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the target HbA1c level is 7% or less, as recommended by healthcare professionals. However, your specific target may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and risk of complications. Always consult your doctor to determine the best goal for you.
