what does a hemoglobin of 5.4 mean

A hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level of 5.4% is considered within the normal range for blood sugar control. Here’s what it means:

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

A 5.4% HbA1c indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are well-managed and not indicative of diabetes or prediabetes. However, it’s always a good idea to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to ensure optimal health and to monitor for any potential risks.
