An A1C level between 5.7% and 6.4% is considered prediabetic. This range indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. If your A1C falls within this range, it is important to take steps to manage your blood sugar to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
Here’s a quick reference:
A1C Range Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes
If you have prediabetes, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and regular monitoring to help lower your A1C levels.
