The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. The results are reported as a percentage. Here are the standard ranges:
A1C Level Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7% - 6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or higher Diabetes
For most people without diabetes, a normal A1C level is below 5.7%. If your A1C is between 5.7% and 6.4%, it indicates prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher suggests diabetes.
If you have diabetes, the target A1C level is typically below 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
