is 5.7 a1c high

An A1C level of 5.7% is considered normal but is at the upper limit of the normal range. Here’s what the A1C ranges mean:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above

While 5.7% is not classified as high, it indicates that you are at the threshold for prediabetes. It’s a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels and consider lifestyle changes such as:

• Eating a balanced diet
• Increasing physical activity
• Maintaining a healthy weight
