Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes based on the A1C test:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C falls within the prediabetes range, it indicates an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and regular exercise, can help prevent or delay the progression to diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
