The Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the general ranges:
A1C Level (%) Category
Below 5.7 Normal
5.7 - 6.4 Prediabetes
6.5 or higher Diabetes
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is below 7%. However, your doctor may set a different goal based on your age, health conditions, and other factors.
Maintaining a healthy A1C level is crucial to reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.
