is 5.2 a1c prediabetes

An A1C level of 5.2% is considered normal and does not indicate prediabetes. According to the CDC and other health organizations, the A1C ranges are as follows:

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

Since 5.2% falls below 5.7%, it is within the normal range. However, it's always a good idea to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to understand your overall health and risk factors.
