Prediabetes is diagnosed when your A1C level falls between 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.
Here’s a quick reference table:
Condition A1C Range
Normal Below 5.7%
Prediabetes 5.7% to 6.4%
Diabetes 6.5% or above
If your A1C is in the prediabetes 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.
