A normal hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level is typically below 5.7%. Here’s a breakdown of the ranges:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It’s an important tool for diagnosing prediabetes and diabetes, as well as monitoring how well your diabetes is being managed.
For most people with diabetes, the goal is to keep their A1C level below 7%, but your doctor may set a different target based on your individual health needs.
