These are the A1C guidelines set forth by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists which has more proactive guidelines than the American Diabetes Associations which most doctors abide by:
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
