what is the a1c for prediabetes

The A1C level for prediabetes is between 5.7% and 6.4%. This range indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. If your A1C falls within this range, it is important to take steps to manage your blood sugar levels to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.

• Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes A1C: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes A1C: 6.5% or above

If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management to help lower your A1C levels.
