A normal hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level is typically below 5.7%. This percentage reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here’s a breakdown of the ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the goal is to maintain an A1C level of 7% or less, as recommended by healthcare providers. However, individual targets may vary based on age, medical history, and other factors.
