The A1C test is used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. The following ranges are used for diagnosis:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C level is 6.5% or higher, it indicates diabetes. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and management plan.
