A hemoglobin A1C level of 5.8% is considered normal but is on the higher end of the normal range. Here’s what the A1C ranges mean:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
While 5.8% is not classified as prediabetes, it is close to the threshold. It’s a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels and discuss with your healthcare provider about lifestyle changes to maintain healthy levels.
