The normal hemoglobin A1C level is below 5.7%. This percentage reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here’s a breakdown of A1C levels and their meanings:
A1C Level (%) Diagnosis
Below 5.7 Normal
5.7 - 6.4 Prediabetes
6.5 or higher Diabetes
If your A1C level is within the normal range, it indicates that your blood sugar is well-managed. However, if it falls into the prediabetes or diabetes range, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
