Understanding A1C: Normal Range And Diabetes Management Explained

Welcome to this video about the normal range for A1C. As an expert in the field of diabetes, I'm here to discuss the normal range for A1C, what it is, and how it can be used to help manage your diabetes. A1C is an important blood test that is used to measure your average blood glucose level over the past two to three months. It is a way to track your diabetes control over time and is used as a key indicator of how well your diabetes is being managed.

The normal range for A1C is typically between four and six percent. This means that your average blood glucose level over the past two to three months has been between four and six millimoles per liter mmol. Anything below four percent is considered too low while anything above six percent is considered too high. It is important to note that the normal range for A1C can vary from person to person because everyone's body responds differently to different diets and lifestyles.

For example, if you are very physically active or have a different diet than most people, your A1C range may be different than the normal range. Your doctor may also use your A1c to determine if you need to take any medications or make any changes to your diet or lifestyle. If your A1C is above 6, your doctor may suggest that you make changes to your diet or lifestyle, or that you start taking medication. Remember that the normal range for A1C is just a guideline and not a hard and fast rule. Your doctor will take into account other factors such as your age, weight, and other medical conditions when determining the best treatment plan for you.
