A normal A1C level for a woman is below 5.7% . The A1C test is a blood test that measures the average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4% and 5.6% . For people with diabetes, whats “normal” and healthy for you depends on your goals and access to diabetes management medication and tools. Together, you and your healthcare provider will determine an A1C range that should be your target goal. In general, the American Diabetes Association recommends that the goal for most adults with diabetes should be an A1C of 7% or lower. However, your A1C goals may be above 7% if you have limited life expectancy. If you have diabetes, it is important to reach and maintain your individual A1C goal to avoid diabetes complications.
