The A1C test measures the average amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood over the past two to three months. The result is reported as a percentage, representing the portion of hemoglobin proteins that are glycated, or holding glucose. For people without diabetes, a normal A1C is below 5.7%, while for people with diabetes, the goal for most adults should be an A1C of 7% or lower. However, the target A1C level for people with diabetes may vary depending on their age, medical conditions, and access to diabetes management medication and tools. It is important to work with your healthcare provider to determine an A1C range that should be your target goal. For people with Type 1 diabetes who are pregnant, the recommended A1C goal is 6.5% or lower throughout their pregnancy. It is important to remember that your A1C is just an average measurement of your blood sugar over a few months, and it will change over your lifetime.
