Pre diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. It is a warning sign that you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The A1C range for pre diabetes is between 5.7% and 6.4%. This means your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months are elevated but not yet in the diabetic range.
If your A1C falls within the pre diabetic range, it indicates that your body is starting to have trouble managing blood sugar levels. Without intervention, it can progress to type 2 diabetes.
Yes! With lifestyle changes and proper management, many people can lower their A1C levels and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
