Your A1C level is an important indicator of your blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months. Here are the general guidelines for A1C levels:
- 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 less than 7%. However, your specific target may vary based on your age, health conditions, and other factors. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best A1C goal for you.
