  • Most adults with diabetes: A1C <7% (53 mmol/mol)
  • Older adults or those with complications: A1C <8% (64 mmol/mol)
  • Children and adolescents: A1C <7.5% (58 mmol/mol)
  • Pregnancy: A1C <6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or lower if achievable

A1C results should be interpreted carefully in the presence of:

  • Hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell, thalassemia)
  • Anemia or recent blood loss
