A1C levels are used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes. Here’s what the ranges mean:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is 7% or less, but this may vary based on individual health conditions. Your doctor will determine the best target for you.
