The normal hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels are as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Hemoglobin A1C is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. It is commonly used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes, as well as to monitor how well you are managing your diabetes over time.
For most people with diabetes, the goal is to keep their A1C level below 7%. However, your specific target may vary based on your age, health conditions, and other factors. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine your ideal A1C range.
