what is the prediabetes range

The prediabetes range for the A1C test is 5.7% to 6.4%. This 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 table:

A1C Range Diagnosis

Below 5.7% Normal
5.7%–6.4% Prediabetes
6.5% or above Diabetes

If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and regular monitoring to help lower your blood sugar levels.
