The pre-diabetic range for the A1C test, which measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, is 5.7% to 6.4%. This range indicates that blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
Here’s a breakdown of the A1C ranges:
A1C Level Diagnosis
Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Pre-diabetes
6.5% or higher Diabetes
If your A1C falls in the pre-diabetic range, it’s important to take steps to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management.
