What is the normal range of HbA1c?

The glycated haemoglobin levels in the blood, which represent the average blood sugar levels over the past three months, are in the HbA1c test. The normal range for HbA1c is less than 5.7%. Levels between 5.7% and 6.4% indicate prediabetes, while a reading of 6.5% or higher is diagnostic of diabetes.
For tracking long-term blood sugar control in diabetics, the HbA1c test is frequently utilised. A result that falls within the normal range suggests that glycaemic control is good, which lowers the risk of complications like kidney damage, neurological problems, and heart disease.
