Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) is a key indicator of long-term blood sugar control. The following ranges are generally used to interpret HbA1c results:
HbA1c Level Interpretation
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7% - 6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes
For most people with diabetes, the target HbA1c level is 7% or less, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and your doctor's recommendations. Maintaining a lower HbA1c level reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications.
If you have questions about your HbA1c results, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
