The A1C test is commonly used to diagnose prediabetes. The range for prediabetes is as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C level falls within the prediabetes range, it indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. This is a critical stage where lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
