An A1C level of 5.6% is considered normal according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. Here’s a breakdown of A1C ranges:

A1C Range Classification

Below 5.7% Normal 5.7% to 6.4% Prediabetes 6.5% or higher Diabetes

A 5.6% A1C indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are within the healthy range. However, it’s always a good idea to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to ensure you’re maintaining optimal health.
