The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The results are reported as a percentage, and the ranges are as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
These ranges help diagnose prediabetes and diabetes and monitor how well your blood sugar is being managed over time.
