The average hemoglobin A1C level varies depending on whether a person has diabetes, prediabetes, or normal blood sugar levels. Here are the general ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, as recommended by healthcare providers. However, individual goals may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and risk of complications.
A1C Level Blood Sugar Status
< 5.7% Normal
5.7–6.4% Prediabetes
≥ 6.5% Diabetes
If you have diabetes, your doctor will help determine your specific A1C goal.
