what is considered normal a1c levels

The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the standard ranges for A1C levels:

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

For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, but your doctor may set a different goal based on your individual health needs. Maintaining a normal A1C level is crucial for reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.
