what is a good aic level

A good A1C level depends on your health status and whether you have diabetes or prediabetes. Here are the general guidelines:

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

For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is less than 7%. However, your doctor may set a different goal based on your age, overall health, and other factors. Maintaining a lower A1C level can help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

If you have prediabetes, lowering your A1C level through lifestyle changes can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
