what numbers are considered diabetic
Someone who is not diabetic will have about five percent of their hemoglobin glycated. This means that if your A1C is below 5.7, you donât have to worry. A normal A1C level is below 5.7 percent; 6.5 percent or above indicates diabetes; 5.7 to 6.4 percent is prediabetes. To monitor your overall glucose control, diabetics should have an A1C at least twice a year. Anyone who has had diabetes for any length of time knows that A1C tests havenât been reliable until recently.
