what a1c is too low

An A1C level that is too low can indicate hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or over-treatment of diabetes. Generally, an A1C below 4% is considered too low and may pose health risks. Here’s what you need to know:

• Normal A1C: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

If your A1C is below 4%, it may indicate:

• Frequent episodes of low blood sugar.
• Overuse of diabetes medications or insulin.
• Increased risk of complications like dizziness, confusion, or fainting.

What to do?

• Consult your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan.
• Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
• Avoid skipping meals or over-exercising without proper precautions.

Always seek medical advice if you experience symptoms of low blood sugar or have concerns about your A1C levels.
