Any value above 6.5 means that one has diabetes.
The significance of the HbA1c test lies in the diagnosis and the prognosis of the diabetes patients, which lends it to a detailed understanding of insulin and insulin resistance.
You are recommended to move your body every day. Aim for 30-60 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days per week. Fill half of your plate with non-starchy veggies at every meal, as well as some lean protein and plant-based fat to assist with blood sugar control.
For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4% and 5.6%.
