what is your hba1c

HbA1c, or Hemoglobin A1c, is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes. Here’s what the results mean:

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

For people with diabetes, the goal is typically to keep HbA1c levels below 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions. Regular monitoring of HbA1c helps in managing diabetes effectively and reducing the risk of complications.
