An A1C level between 5.7% and 6.4% is considered prediabetes. This range indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C falls in the prediabetes range, it’s important to take steps to manage your blood sugar levels through lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
