hi this is from the mayo clinic. for someone who doesn't have diabetes a normal a1c level can range from 4. 5 to 6 percent. someone who's had uncontrolled diabetes for a long time might have an a1c level above 8 percent. when the a1c test is used to diagnose diabetes an a1c level of 6. 5 percent or higher on two separate tests indicates you have diabetes. a result between 5. 7 and 6. 4 percent is considered prediabetes which indicates a high risk of developing diabetes. for most people who have previously diagnosed diabetes an a1c level of 7 percent or less is a common treatment target. higher targets may be chosen in some individuals. if your a1c level is above your target your doctor may recommend a change in your diabetes treatment plan. remember the higher your a1c level the higher your risk of diabetes complications. your find more at this link. <link> if this dose not show blue just copy into google to the www. to open and read. do hope this helps you. good luck ps yes get exercising and look up what to eat to get back on track try googling the diabetes diet you should find all the help you need.
