The normal range for hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels is typically below 5.7%. This percentage reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:
A1C Level Diagnosis

Maintaining an A1C level within the normal range is important for overall health, especially for preventing diabetes-related complications. If your A1C is higher than normal, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
