<6% of total Hb
AACE Guidelines (2011)
Hemoglobin A1c, % (as a screening test)
≤5.4 - Normal
-------------------------
5.5-6.4 - High risk/prediabetes; requires screening by glucose criteria
-------------------------
≥6.5 -Diabetes, confirmed by repeating the test on a different day
=================
In general, therapy should target a A1C level of 6.5% or less for most nonpregnant adults.
