▸HbA1c 7.0% is in the diabetes range range (eAG 154 mg/dL / 8.6 mmol/L).
- An HbA1c of 6.5% or above confirms the diabetes range. The ADA general target for most adults with diabetes is below 7% (eAG below 154 mg/dL / 8.6 mmol/L).
- Tighter control (HbA1c below 6.5%) may be appropriate for some patients; a higher target (below 8%) for older adults or those with hypoglycaemia risk.
- Your eAG of 154.2 mg/dL (8.56 mmol/L) is the average blood sugar level your tissues have been exposed to over roughly the past 3 months.
Next stepDiscuss your HbA1c target with your healthcare provider, as individual factors including age, duration of diabetes, and other conditions all influence the right goal for you.
