The A1C test is commonly used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. The ranges are as follows:
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
If your A1C level falls between 5.7% and 6.4%, it indicates prediabetes. This means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Prediabetes is a warning sign, and lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
For more information, you can refer to the CDC's guide on A1C testing.
