Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The A1C test is commonly used to diagnose pre-diabetes, and the range is as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Pre-diabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C falls within the pre-diabetes range, it’s important to take steps to manage your blood sugar levels through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are also recommended.
